Graphics Reference
In-Depth Information
However, we should acknowledge the importance of functionality for generating,
importing, transforming and analysing data. Without data, there is nothing interest-
ing to plot.
In an ideal situation, statistical graphics facilities are provided as part of a larger
system with data-handling features, as is the case with R.
Summary
3.5
Statistical graphics sotware should provide a straightforward way to produce com-
plete plots. It should be possible to customize all aspects of the plot, addextra output
to the plot and extend the system to create new types of plots.
Statistical graphics sotware can be thought of as an extension of a sophisticated
graphics language, providing a fully featured graphics system, a programming lan-
guage and extensions to specifically support statistical graphics.
