Essentials
1.) What’s in a graph?
Write a paragraph explaining some tenants of good vs. bad graphics. Be specific! A good graph should accurately represent whatever data you want to visualize. The center and spread should be represented in whatever way makes the most sense, and you should be able to see the numbers. A good graph should also reveal any patterns that are present in the data. The axes and other graphical elements that might be present should be clearly depicted and labelled. The graph itself should be easy to understand. By that, I mean that not every graph type is the one for your data– the type of graph should best visualize your data in a clear, easy to understand way. A bad graph might not be clearly labelled or represent the data in a readable way. A bad graph might also display the magnitude of the data in a dishonest way because it makes it look more shocking or exciting.
2.) Make the following plots with the ferris wheel data: histogram, boxplot, bar graph, line graph, scatterplot
4.) Change the colors away from default colors. Show me an example of manually changing the colors and an example of you using ggsci to change the colors.
2.) Using the wheels data, group data, calculate an average, and plot data with error bars! Ask for help if you need it. We may not have learned all of this in class just yet.

3.) Using theme() and labs() add custom labels to your X and Y axis. Add a title. Change the size of the text on both axes. This may be beyond our tutorial in class, so ask Justin and/or use google or resources linked above. Theme() is extremely powerful and will always be useful for us!
ggplot(data=wheels2,aes(country,fill=country))+geom_bar()+theme_bw()+theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=90,vjust=0.5,size=10))+theme(axis.text=element_text(size=10))+labs(x='Country',y='Count',title='Count of Ferris Wheels by Country')
When finished, render as html or pdf and confirm that your file looks the way it should. Then submit on Moodle (via the google form).
