Section 3.3 Base R

One of the strongest qualities in R is its ability to create visualizations, powered by ggplot2 ([D.1.8]). However, it is possible to use base R to create plots as well. It is recommended to use ggplot2; however, you may encounter base R plots in older scripts or documentation, so an example is included for familiarity.

values <- c(100, 17, 45, 55, 44)

barplot(values, xlab = "X-axis", ylab = "Y-axis", main ="Base R Bar Chart")

A bar chart created using base R’s barplot() function showing five bars of varying heights (100, 17, 45, 55, 44) with X-axis and Y-axis labels and the title "Base R Bar Chart". — Figure 3.3.1. An example of a bar chart created using base R.
