From Start to Finish: Visualizing Your Data

Visualization Day

Good visualization is about more than just writing the correct code. Visualization is communication, and good communication requires thinking about how we as the scientist/data analyst/creator convey our message to the reader. This one-day workshop will provide you with a toolbox of skills and code examples to help you create clear, visually interesting visualizations which accurately communicate a message.

This workshop has five sections

The basic code template for ggplot.

Visualization for our selves (exploratory analysis).

Examples of good visualization (with code).

Iteratively building a figure.

Visualization from start to finish.

Why are we doing this?

Because some plots look like this (Credit to Dr. Joseph Guhlin for this presentation).
