    This document summarizes data visualization techniques in R. It covers base graphics using the graphics package and ggplot2. Base graphics is good for simple tasks but has difficult syntax, while ggplot2 has simpler syntax and interfaces with other packages. Ggplot2 is based on the grammar of graphics and uses aesthetic mappings, geoms, statistical transformations, and scales. It allows visualizing univariate and bivariate data using functions like geom_boxplot(), geom_histogram(), and geom_point(). Ggplot2 can also create maps using functions like get_map() and ggmap().
