# Basic plotting systems
1. Base graphics: constructed piecemeal. Conceptually simpler and allows plotting to mirror the thought process.
2. Lattice graphics: entire plots created in a simple function call.
3. ggplot2 graphics: an implementation of the Grammar of Graphics by Leland Wikinson. Combines concepts from both base and lattice graphics. (Need to install ggplot2 library)
4. Fancier and more telling ones.

A list of interactive visualization in R can be found at: http://ouzor.github.io/blog/2014/11/21/interactive-visualizations.html

## Base plotting system

```{r, fig.width=6, fig.height=5}
library(datasets)
## scatter plot
plot(x = airquality$Temp, y = airquality$Ozone)
```

***

## Base plotting system
```{r, fig.width=15, fig.height=4.5}
## par() function is used to specify global graphics parameters that affect all plots in an R session.
## Type ?par to see all parameters
par(mfrow = c(1, 2), mar = c(4, 4, 2, 1), oma = c(0, 0, 2, 0))
with(airquality, {
	plot(Wind, Ozone, main="Ozone and Wind")
	plot(Temp, Ozone, main="Ozone and Temperature")
	mtext("Ozone and Weather in New York City", outer=TRUE)})
```

***

## Plotting functions (high level)
<img src="drawDraft.jpg", style="float:right;width:300px;height:190px"">

**PHASE ONE: Mount a canvas panel on the easel, and draw the draft.** (Initialize a plot.)

* plot(): one of the most frequently used plotting functions in R.
* boxplot(): a boxplot show the distribution of a vector. It is very useful to example the distribution of different variables.
* barplot(): create a bar plot with vertical or horizontal bars.
* hist(): compute a histogram of the given data values.
* pie(): draw a pie chart.

Remember to use ?plot or str(plot), etc. to check the arguments when you want to make more personalized plots. A tutorial of base plotting system with more details: http://bcb.dfci.harvard.edu/~aedin/courses/BiocDec2011/2.Plotting.pdf

***

## Plotting functions (low level)
<img src="drawDetails.png", style="float:right;width:300px;height:220px"">

**PHASE TWO: Add more details on your canvas, and make an artwork.** (Add more on an existing plot.)

* lines: adds liens to a plot, given a vector of x values and corresponding vector of y values
* points: adds a point to the plot
* text: add text labels to a plot using specified x,y coordinates
* title: add annotations to x,y axis labels, title, subtitles, outer margin
* mtext: add arbitrary text to margins (inner or outer) of plot
* axis: specify axis ticks

***

## Save your artwork
<img src="saveArtwork.jpg", style="float:right;width:300px;height:220px"">
R can generate graphics (of varying levels of quality) on almost any type of display or printing device. Like:

* postscript(): for printing on PostScript printers, or creating PostScript graphics files.
* pdf(): produces a PDF file, which can also be included into PDF files.
* jpeg(): produces a bitmap JPEG file, best used for image plots.

help(Devices) for a list of them all. Simple example:
```{r}
## png(filename = 'plot1.png', width = 480, height = 480, units = 'px')
## plot(x, y)
## dev.off()
```

***

## Example: boxplot and hitogram

<img src="quantile.gif", style="width:350px;height:175px;float:right">

```{r, fig.width=8, fig.height=4.5}
## the layout
par(mfrow = c(2, 1), mar = c(2, 0, 2, 0), oma = c(0, 0, 0, 0))
## histogram at the top
hist(airquality$Ozone, breaks=12, main = "Histogram of Ozone")
## box plot below for comparison
boxplot(airquality$Ozone, horizontal=TRUE, main = "Box plot of Ozone")
```

---

## Lattice plotting system
```{r, fig.width=15, fig.height=4.5}
library(lattice) # need to load the lattice library
set.seed(10) # set the seed so our plots are the same
x <- rnorm(100)
f <- rep(1:4, each = 25) # first 25 elements are 1, second 25 elements are 2, ...
y <- x + f - f * x+ rnorm(100, sd = 0.5)
f <- factor(f, labels = c("Group 1", "Group 2", "Group 3", "Group 4"))
# first 25 elements are in Group 1, second 25 elements are in Group 2, ...
xyplot(y ~ x | f)
```

***

## Lattice plotting system
Want more on the plot? Customize the panel funciton:
```{r, fig.keep = 'none'}
xyplot(y ~ x | f, panel = function(x, y, ...) {
    # call the default panel function for xyplot
    panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
    # adds a horizontal line at the median
    panel.abline(h = median(y), lty = 2)
    # overlays a simple linear regression line
    panel.lmline(x, y, col = 2) 
})
```

***

## Lattice plotting system
```{r, echo=FALSE}
xyplot(y ~ x | f, panel = function(x, y, ...) {
    # call the default panel function for xyplot
    panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
    # adds a horizontal line at the median
    panel.abline(h = median(y), lty = 2)
    # overlays a simple linear regression line
    panel.lmline(x, y, col = 2) 
})
```

***

## Lattice plotting system
Plotting functions
* xyplot():  main function for creating scatterplots
* bwplot():  box and whiskers plots (box plots)
* histogram():  histograms
* stripplot():  box plot with actual points
* dotplot():  plot dots on "violin strings"
* splom():  scatterplot matrix (like pairs() in base plotting system)
* levelplot()/contourplot():  plotting image data

***

## Very useful when we want a lot...
```{r}
pairs(iris) ## iris is a data set in R
```

---

## ggplot2 
* An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics by Leland Wikinson
* Written by Hadley Wickham (while he was a graduate student as lowa State)
* A "third" graphics system for R (along with base and lattice)  
	Available from CRAN via install.packages()  
	web site: http://ggplot2.org (better documentation)
* Grammar of graphics represents the abstraction of graphics ideas/objects  
  Think "verb", "noun", "adjective" for graphics  
  "Shorten" the distance from mind to page
* Two main functions:  
  **qplot()** hides what goes on underneath, which is okay for most operations
  **ggplot()** is the core function and very flexible for doing this qplot() cannot do

***

## qplot function
The qplot() function is the analog to plot() but with many build-in features  
Syntax somewhere in between base/lattice  
Difficult to be customized (don't bother, use full ggplot2 power in that case)
```{r, fig.width=8, fig.height=3}
library(ggplot2) ## need to install and load this library
qplot(displ, hwy, data = mpg, facets = .~drv)
```

***

## ggplot function
When building plots in ggplot2 (ggplot, rather than using qplot)  
The "artist's palette" model may be the closest analogy  
Plots are built up in layers  
* Step I: Input the data  
**noun**: the data
```{r}
library(ggplot2) ## need to install and load this library
g <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)) ## this would not show you add plot
```

***

## ggplot function
* Step II: Add layers  
**adjective**: describe the type of plot you will produce.
```{r, fig.width=12, fig.height=4.5}
g + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method = "lm") + facet_grid(. ~ Species)
```

***

## ggplot function
* Step III: Add metadata and annotation  
**adjective**: control the mapping between data and aesthetics.
```{r, fig.width=12, fig.height=4.5}
g <- g + geom_point() + geom_smooth(method = "lm") + facet_grid(. ~ Species)  
g + ggtitle("Sepal length vs. width for different species") + theme_bw() ## verb
```

***

## Great documentation
Great **documentation** of ggplot with all functions in **step II** and **III** and demos:

# Titanic tragedy data

<img src="Titanic.jpg", style="width:791px;height:509px"">

---

## Reading RAW training data
* Download the data set "Titanic_train.csv" from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datasciencedojo/datasets/master/Titanic_train.csv
* Set working directory of R to the directory of the file using setwd()
```{r}
titanic = read.csv('Titanic_train.csv')
```

***

## Look at the first few rows
What would be some good features to consider here?

```{r}
options(width = 110)
head(titanic)
```

***

## What is the data type of each column?
```{r}
sapply(titanic,class)
```

***

## Converting class label to a factor
```{r}
titanic$Survived = factor(titanic$Survived, labels=c("died", "survived"))
titanic$Embarked = factor(titanic$Embarked, labels=c("unkown", "Cherbourg", "Queenstown", "Southampton"))
sapply(titanic,class)
str(titanic$Survived)
str(titanic$Sex)
```

---

## Class distribution - PIE Charts
```{r, fig.width=3, fig.height=3}
survivedTable = table(titanic$Survived)
survivedTable
par(mar = c(0, 0, 0, 0), oma = c(0, 0, 0, 0))
pie(survivedTable,labels=c("Died","Survived"))
```

***

## Is Sex a good predictor?
<!-- plotting area: http://research.stowers-institute.org/mcm/efg/R/Graphics/Basics/mar-oma/index.htm -->
```{r, fig.width=14, fig.height=4.5}
male = titanic[titanic$Sex=="male",]
female = titanic[titanic$Sex=="female",]
par(mfrow = c(1, 2), mar = c(0, 0, 2, 0), oma = c(0, 1, 0, 1))
pie(table(male$Survived),labels=c("Dead","Survived"),  main="Survival Portion Among Men")
pie(table(female$Survived),labels=c("Dead","Survived"), main="Survival Portion Among Women")
```

---

## Is Age a good predictor?
```{r}
Age <- titanic$Age; summary(Age)
```

How about summary segmented by **survival**
```{r}
summary(titanic[titanic$Survived=="died",]$Age)
summary(titanic[titanic$Survived=="survived",]$Age)
```

***

## Age distribution by Survival and Sex
```{r, fig.width=14, fig.height=6}
par(mfrow = c(1, 2), mar = c(4, 4, 2, 2), oma = c(1, 1, 1, 1))
boxplot(titanic$Age~titanic$Sex, main="Age Distribution By Gender",col=c("red","green"))
boxplot(titanic$Age~titanic$Survived, main="Age Distribution By Survival",col=c("red","green"),
        xlab="0:Died 1:Survived",ylab="Age")
```

***

## Histogram of Age
```{r, fig.width=6, fig.height=6}
hist(Age, col="blue", xlab="Age", ylab="Frequency",
     main = "Distribution of Passenger Ages on Titanic")
```

***

## Kernel density plot of age
```{r, fig.width=6, fig.height=5.5}
d = density(na.omit(Age)) # density(Age) won't work, need to omit all NAs
plot(d, main = "kernel density of Ages of Titanic Passengers")
polygon(d, col="red", border="blue")
```

***

## Comparison of density plots of Age with different Sex
```{r, echo=FALSE}
titanic_na_removed = na.omit(titanic)
library(sm) # reference package, may need you to install sm library first
sm.density.compare(titanic_na_removed$Age, titanic_na_removed$Sex,xlab="Age of Passenger")
title(main="Kernel Density Plot of Ages By Sex")
colfill<-c(2:(2+ length(levels(titanic_na_removed$Sex))))
legend("topright", legend=levels(titanic_na_removed$Sex), fill=colfill)
```

***

## Did Age have an impact on survival?
```{r, echo=FALSE, fig.width=23, fig.height=8}
library(sm) # reference package, may need you to install sm library first
par(mfrow = c(1, 3), mar = c(4, 4, 5, 2), oma = c(1, 1, 2, 1))

plot(d, main = "kernel density of Ages of Titanic Passengers", cex.main=3)
polygon(d, col="red", border="blue")

sm.density.compare(titanic_na_removed$Age, titanic_na_removed$Sex,xlab="Age of Passenger")
title(main="Kernel Density Plot of Ages By Sex", cex.main=3)
colfill<-c(2:(2+ length(levels(titanic_na_removed$Sex))))
legend("topright", legend=levels(titanic_na_removed$Sex), fill=colfill)

sm.density.compare(titanic_na_removed$Age, titanic_na_removed$Survived,xlab="Age of Passenger")
title(main="Kernel Density Plot of Ages By Survival", cex.main=3)
colfill<-c(2:(2+ length(levels(titanic_na_removed$Survived))))
legend("topright", legend=levels(titanic_na_removed$Survived), fill=colfill)
```

***

## Create categorical groupings: Adult vs Child
An example of **feature engineering**!
```{r}
## Multi dimensional comparison            
Child <- titanic$Age # Isolating age.
## Now we need to create categories: NA = Unknown, 1 = Child, 2 = Adult
## Every age below 13 (exclusive) is classified into age group 1
Child[Child<13] <- 1
## Every child 13 or above is classified into age group 2
Child[Child>=13] <- 2
```
```{r}
# Use labels instead of 0's and 1's
Child[Child==1] <- "Child"
Child[Child==2] <- "Adult"
# Appends the new column to the titanic dataset
titanic_with_child_column <- cbind(titanic, Child)
# Removes rows where age is NA
titanic_with_child_column <- titanic_with_child_column[!is.na(titanic_with_child_column$Child),]
```

---

## Fare matters?
```{r, echo=FALSE, fig.width=8, fig.height=6.5}
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(titanic_with_child_column, aes(y=Fare, x=Survived)) + geom_boxplot() + facet_grid(Sex~Child)
## Plot may differ depending  # on your definition of a child
```
***

## How about fare, ship class, port embarkation?
```{r, echo=FALSE, fig.width=17, fig.height=5}
library(ggplot2)
titanic$Pclass = as.factor(titanic$Pclass)
ggplot(titanic, aes(y=Fare, x=Pclass)) + geom_boxplot() + facet_grid(~Embarked)

```

## Overview of the diamond data
```{r}
data(diamonds) # loading diamonds data set
head(diamonds, 16) # first few rows of diamond data set
```

***

## Histogram of carat
```{r, fig.width=8, fig.height=5}
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data=diamonds) + geom_histogram(aes(x=carat))
```

***

## Density plot of carat
```{r, fig.width=8, fig.height=5}
ggplot(data=diamonds) + 
geom_density(aes(x=carat),fill="gray50")
```

***

## Scatter plots (carat vs. price)
```{r, fig.width=9, fig.height=6}
ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=carat,y=price)) + geom_point()
```

***

## Carat with colors
```{r, fig.width=9, fig.height=6}
g = ggplot(diamonds, aes(x=carat, y=price)) # saving first layer as variable
g + geom_point(aes(color=color)) # rendering first layer and adding another layer
```

***

## Carat with colors (more details)
```{r, fig.width=10, fig.height=7}
g + geom_point(aes(color=color)) + facet_wrap(~color)
```

***

## Let's consider cut and clarity
```{r, fig.width=15, fig.height=8, echo=FALSE}
g + geom_point(aes(color=color)) + facet_grid(cut~clarity)
```

***

## Your trun!
What is your knowledge of diamond's price after exploring this data?
