yeroon.net/ggplot2

Description

yeroon.net/ggplot2 is a web application for exploratory graphical analysis. It implements a (big) subset of the plots that can be made with the CRAN package ggplot2 by Hadley Wickham. Furthermore it is inspired by the education at the Dept. of Statistics at UCLA, as a tool to help students think statistically.

Features

  • As with the lme4 web application, data has to be uploaded in csv, spss (.sav), or tab delimited format. Make sure the file has the appropriate extension, and every column has a header.
  • After data has been uploaded, a plot menu can be opened by right mouse clicking somewhere in the plot area.
  • A plot is built of layers; visual geom's that are drawn on the coordinate system. You can add layers through the menu. The right hand side of the web aplication shows an overview of the current layers in your plot.
  • Aesthetic properties (like colour, size, shape, etc), can be set to a static value, or mapped to a variable.
  • To see the R-code that is used to draw a plot, click the tiny arrow at the bottom of the screen. This will open the syntax window.
