## Your turn: `plot()`

Does the annual number of bird impacts appear to be changing over time?

Make a plot using the `birds` data frame to justify your answer.

Hint: You may need to create a _summary_ data frame to answer this question!

**Bonus**: Make your plot pretty!

## Your turn: `hist()`

Make plots using the `birds` data frame to answer these questions

1. Which months have the highest and lowest number of bird impacts in the dataset?
2. Which aircrafts experience more impacts: 2-engine, 3-engine, or 4-engine?
3. At what height do most impacts occur?

# "Grammar of Graphics"

Concept developed by Leland Wilkinson (1999)

**ggplot2** package developed by Hadley Wickham (2005)

# Making plot layers with ggplot2

<br>

### 1. The data (we'll use `bears`)
### 2. The aesthetic mapping (what goes on the axes?)
### 3. The geometries (points? bars? etc.)

---

# Layer 1: The data

The `ggplot()` function initializes the plot with whatever data you're using

```r
ggplot(data = bears)
```

]

]]

---

# Layer 2: The aesthetic mapping

The `aes()` function determines which variables will be _mapped_ to the geometries<br>(e.g. the axes)

```r
ggplot(
  data = bears,
* mapping = aes(x = year, y = age))
```
]

]]

---

# Layer 3: The geometries

Use `+` to add geometries (e.g. points)

```r
ggplot(
  data = bears,
  mapping = aes(x = year, y = age)) +
* geom_point()
```

]

]]

---

# Other common geometries

- `geom_point()`: scatter plots
- `geom_line()`: lines connecting data points
- `geom_col()`: bar charts
- `geom_boxplot()`: boxes for boxplots

---

# Scatterplots with `geom_point()`

Add points:

```r
ggplot(
  data = bears,
  mapping = aes(x = year, y = age)) +
* geom_point()
```

]

]]

---

# Scatterplots with `geom_point()`

Change the color of all points:

```r
ggplot(
  data = bears,
  mapping = aes(x = year, y = age)) +
* geom_point(color = 'blue')
```

]

]]

---

# Scatterplots with `geom_point()`

Map the point color to a **variable**:

```r
ggplot(
  data = bears,
  mapping = aes(x = year, y = age)) +
* geom_point(aes(color = gender))
```

Note that `color = gender` is _inside_ `aes()`

]

]]

---

# Scatterplots with `geom_point()`

Adjust labels with `labs()` layer:

```r
ggplot(
  data = bears,
  mapping = aes(x = year, y = age)) +
  geom_point(aes(color = gender)) +
  labs(
    x = "Year", 
    y = "Age",  
    title = "Bear victim age over time", 
    color = "Gender"
  ) 
```

]

]]

## Your turn: `geom_point()`

Use the `birds` data frame to create the following plots

## Make bar charts with `geom_col()`

With bar charts, you'll often need to create summary variables to plot

Step 1: Summarize the data

```r
bear_months <- bears %>%
* count(month)
```

Step 2: Make the plot

```r
ggplot(data = bear_months) +
* geom_col(aes(x = month, y = n))
```

]

Example: count of attacks by month

]

---

## Make bar charts with `geom_col()`

Alternative approach: piping directly into ggplot

```r
bears %>%
  count(month) %>%  # Pipe into ggplot 
  ggplot() +
  geom_col(aes(x = month, y = n))
```

]

]

---

## Be careful with `geom_col()` vs. `geom_bar()`

### .center[`geom_col()`]

Map both `x` and `y`

```r
bears %>%
* count(month) %>%
  ggplot() +
* geom_col(aes(x = month, y = n))
```

]

### .center[`geom_bar()`]

Only map `x` (`y` is computed)

```r
bears %>%
  ggplot() +
* geom_bar(aes(x = month))
```

]

---

## Make bar charts with `geom_col()`

Another example:<br>Mean age of victim in each year

```r
bears %>%
  filter(!is.na(age)) %>%
  group_by(year) %>%
* summarise(meanAge = mean(age)) %>%
  ggplot() +
* geom_col(aes(x = year, y = meanAge))
```

]

]]

---

### Change bar width:  `width`
### Change bar color: `fill`
### Change bar outline: `color`

```r
bears %>%
  count(month) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_col(
    mapping = aes(x = month, y = n),
*   width = 0.7,
*   fill = "blue",
*   color = "red"
  )
```

]

]

---

### Map the `fill` to `bearType`

```r
*bears %>%
* count(month, bearType) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_col(
    mapping = aes(
      x = month, y = n, fill = bearType)
  ) 
```

]

Note that I had to summarize the count by both `month` and `bearType`

```r
bears %>%
  count(month, bearType)
```

]

```

#>    month bearType     n

# "Factors" = Categorical variables

By default, R makes numeric variables _continuous_

```r
bears %>%
  count(month) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_col(aes(x = month, y = n))
```
**The variable `month` is a _number_**

]

]]

---

# "Factors" = Categorical variables

You can make a continuous variable _categorical_ using `as.factor()`

```r
bears %>%
  count(month) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_col(
    mapping = aes(
*     x = as.factor(month),
      y = n)
  )
```

]

**The variable `month` is a _factor_**

]

]]

## Your turn: `geom_col()`

Use the `bears` and `birds` data frame to create the following plots

]

`theme_void()`

# Save figures with `ggsave()`

First, assign the plot to an object name:

```r
scatterPlot <- ggplot(data = bears) +
    geom_point(aes(x = year, y = age))
```

Then use `ggsave()` to save the plot:

```r
ggsave(
    filename = here('plots', 'scatterPlot.png'),
    plot   = scatterPlot,
    width  = 6, # inches
    height = 4
)
```
