This chapter will teach you how to visualize your data using ggplot2.

R has several systems for making graphs, but ggplot2 is one of the most elegant and most versatile.

ggplot2 implements the **grammar of graphics**, a coherent system for describing and building graphs.

With ggplot2, you can do more faster by learning one system and applying it in many places.
