The R language and graphing

The freely distributable programming language R is one of the world's most widely used tools for statistical and mathematical analysis and modelling. It offers a clear user interface, contains a wide and continuously expanding range of different methods and superstructures including tools for complex statistical analysis, processing of large volumes of data and creation of web applications, allows the creation of multi-user applications and can be used on all common operating systems.

The book is intended for anyone interested in data analysis and modeling in this language, with a special focus on visualization and presentation of results. The first part of the book is intended for beginner users of R. It provides clear instructions for its installation and explains how to work in this language and its basic tools, including data representation and scripting.

The second part of the book covers in detail the graphical capabilities of R. Examples describe the creation of various types of 2D and 3D graphs as well as various special graphs such as financial or interactive graphs.
