From Start to Finish: Visualising Your Data

Visualisation Day

Good visualisation is about more than just writing the correct code. Visualisation 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 visualisations which accurately communicate a message.

This workshop has five sections

The basic code template for ggplot2.

Visualisation for ourselves (exploratory analysis).

Examples of good visualisation (with code).

Iteratively building a figure.

Visualisation from start to finish.

Why are we doing this?

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