As an example, I would like to visualize a graph from the well-known flight data. I will plot the delay of the flight by the distance of the flight, applying point and smooth geoms.

Since the data is so large, I take a random 1% sample of all of the flights data. Given that the original data has 336,776 flights, it can be hard to visualize this much data with any clarity so we will observe a sample for this.

Basic scatter plot to show continues variables

Boxplots are one of the most commonly used statistics plots to display continuous data. It is extremely useful to evaluate the distribution of a continuous random variable across multiple groups.

Violin plot to help display continuous data among different categories.
