Visualization packages for R

To find out about some packages written in R, you can go to the home page for the R software at http://r-project.org and click CRAN on the left-hand side. Then, you can choose a mirror location (close to you). After clicking Packages on the left-hand side, you will find two lists. One is sorted by date while the second one is sorted alphabetically. To search for useful packages, we can use both lists.

There are many R packages associated with data visualization (see the partial list that follows):
