More on this topic

The examples in this unit are specifically related to the course assignments. To get a much broader idea about visualizations, please refer to our online book on Creating Publication Quality Graphics in R by our former group members Tim Appelhans and Florian Detsch which is also available at Marburg Open Educational Ressources.
