Graphics

Producing high-quality graphics is one of the main reasons for doing statistical computing. The particular plot function you need will depend on the number of variables you want to plot and the pattern you wish to highlight. The plotting functions in this chapter are dealt with under four headings:

  • plots with two variables;
  • plots for a single sample;
  • multivariate plots;
  • special plots for particular purposes.

Changes to the detailed look of the graphs are dealt with in Chapter 27.
