Data Visualization with R (Intermediate Level)- Change of date from 10/26 to 11/9 and change of location

Want easier ways to make better graphs in R? This workshop is for researchers who have beginner-level experience with R’s ggplot2 package, but would like tools for creating more efficient workflows and improving the appearance of their visualizations. More specifically, this workshop will cover: (1) ggthemes - package that facilitates customization of plots made with ggplot2, (2) camcorder - package that ensures consistent sizing when exporting plots from R (no more meticulous work on an image, only to save it and discover everything looks off!), and (3) overview of options for including multiple plots in one image, often for publication

Time permitting, we may also cover how to make 3D plots, interactive plots, or animated videos.

Workshop format: Presentation and demo, with some optional interactive sections.

Target audience: This workshop is geared toward researchers who use R to create graphics.

Knowledge prerequisites: This workshop requires beginner-level experience using R’s ggplot2 package. If, for example, you’ve created a few of your own visualizations with ggplot2, or you’ve attended some sort of introductory workshop on ggplot2, this workshop is for you.

Hardware/software prerequisites:
This workshop will use the Adroit training cluster.
If you do not already have an account on Adroit, you should request one by filling out the following form *at least* two days before the workshop:
https://forms.rc.princeton.edu/registration/?q=adroit

Participants should ensure they have met these requirements in advance, as THERE WILL BE NO TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING DURING THE WORKSHOP ITSELF!

Learning objectives: Participants will learn to use R packages that allow them to customize their graphs and create more efficient workflows in R.
