library("ggplot2")

# Looking At Layers

ggplot(faithful, aes(x=eruptions, y=waiting)) + geom_point() + stat_smooth()

# Using Geoms and Stats

## Defining what data to use

## Mapping data to plot aesthetics

## Getting geoms

### Creating a bar chart

ggplot(quakes, aes(x=depth)) + geom_bar()
ggplot(quakes, aes(x=depth)) + geom_histogram(binwidth=50)

quakes.agg <- aggregate(mag ~ round(depth, -1), data=quakes, FUN=length)
names(quakes.agg) <- c("depth", "mag")

ggplot(quakes.agg, aes(x=depth, y=mag)) +
   geom_bar(stat="identity")


### Making a scatterplot

ggplot(quakes, aes(x=long, y=lat)) + geom_point()


### Creating line charts

ggplot(longley, aes(x=Year, y=Unemployed)) + geom_line()


# Sussing Stats

## Binning data

ggplot(quakes, aes(x=depth)) + geom_bar()
ggplot(quakes, aes(x=depth)) + stat_bin(binwidth = 50)

## Smoothing data

ggplot(longley, aes(x=Year, y=Employed)) + geom_point()

ggplot(longley, aes(x=Year, y=Employed)) +
   geom_point() + stat_smooth()

ggplot(longley, aes(x=Year, y=Employed)) +
   geom_point() + stat_smooth(method="lm")


# Adding Facets, Scales, and Options

## Adding facets

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=mpg)) + geom_point()

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=mpg)) + geom_point() +
   stat_smooth(method="lm") + facet_grid(~cyl)


ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=mpg)) +
   geom_point(aes(shape=factor(cyl), colour=factor(cyl)))

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=mpg)) +
   geom_point(aes(shape=factor(cyl), colour=factor(cyl))) +
   scale_shape_discrete(name="Cylinders") +
   scale_colour_discrete(name="Cylinders")

## Changing options

ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=hp, y=mpg)) + geom_point(color="red") +
   xlab("Performance (horse power") +
   ylab("Fuel consumption (mpg)") +
   ggtitle("Motor car comparison")
