Getting to Know Grid Graphics

System Requirements

The code used in this course should work on any platform (Windows, MacOS X, or Linux), but you should make sure you have installed ...

• A recent version of R, ideally 3.4.*.
• A recent version of lattice, (which should come with R).
• A recent version of ggplot2, definitely later than 2.0.
• A recent version of gridGraphics, ideally 0.2.
• A recent version of gridSVG, ideally 1.6-0.

Some of the images in the slides also make use of vcd, png, and gridGraphviz, but we will not explicitly work with those packages in the course.

Slides

The slides for the course, including exercises, and a PDF version that might be nicer for printing.

Both of those files are a bit hefty due to some large-ish images. Sorry!

NOTE that the slides do NOT work in presentation mode in the latest Firefox; use Google Chrome instead.

There is also a tar ball bundle of everything, including all of the source files, in case you are interested (and that is even heftier!).

R Code

Some R code from the slides to hopefully make your life a bit easier:

• R code for examples from the slides (a tidier script than you get from tangling the slide source).
• R code templates for exercises. You can run a section of this code to do the set up for each exercise and then just add your own 'grid' code to get the answer.
• R code model answers for exercises, in case you want to study those as part of your preparation for the course.
