This book shows what information can be gained from graphical displays. Antony Unwin focuses on why you draw graphics to display data and which graphics to draw (and uses R to do so). All the datasets are available in R or one of its packages. The book guides you in choosing graphics and understanding what information you can glean from them, such as data cleaning, exploring data structure, detecting outliers and unusual groups, and identifying trends and clusters.
