Chapter 1 Preliminaries The "preliminaries"that are discussed here will extend to using the R Commander menu to draw graphs! 1.1 Installation of R and of R Packages Installation of R First download and install R from a CRAN site,e.g. http://cran.ms.unimelb.edu.au/or http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub//CRAN/ Windows an MacOS X users should download the relevant executable. (e.g.R-2.7.0-win32.exe for Windows,or R-2.7.0.dmg for MacOS X), and open the downloaded file (e.g.,click on it)to start insallation Installation of R Packages (Windows MacOS X) Start R(e.g.,click on the R icon).Then use the relevant menu item to install packages via an internet connection. This is(usually)easier than downloading,then installing. Locating packages The CRAN task views may be a good first place to go. For installation,follow the instructions in the text box.For installing packages,Windows users will first need to specify a mirror.In Australia,specify the Australian mirror. A fresh install is typically required to take advantage of new major releases (e.g.moving from a 2.6 series release to a 2.7 series release)when they appear.For working through these notes,version 2.7.0 or later should be installed. 1.1.1 Installation of packages from the command line For packages where there are dependencies,installation from the command line may be an attractive way to go.First,start R,perhaps by clicking on an R icon.Make sure that you have a live internet connection. For the R Commander,enter: install.packages("Rcmdr",dependencies=TRUE) Doing the installation this way ensures that other packages that R Commander may want get installed at the same time.One of those packages is the rgl 3D graphics package that I will describe briefly. Other graphics packages that this installs are scatterplot3d,ucd(visualization of categorical data)and colorspace (for generation of color palettes,etc)

Other graphics packages that this installs are scatterplot3d, vcd (visualization of categorical data) and colorspace (for generation of color palettes, etc). 5
6 CHAPTER 1.PRELIMINARIES A further package that will be discussed here,the ggplot?package,is not an R commander suggested package,and requires separate installation.Enter,at the command line: install("ggplot2",dependencies=TRUE) 1.2 The R Commander 1.3 The R Commander GUI The R commander gives a graphical user interface(GUI)to a wide range of abilities,in the base R system and in R packages.This includes graphical abilities,in the lattice and rgl packages as well as in base graphics. To start the R commander,start up R and enter:1 library(Rcmdr) This opens an R Commander script window,with the output window underneath.This window can be closed by clicking on the x in the top left corner.If thus closed,enter Commander()to reopen it again later in the session. The R Commander GUI-a guide to getting started Once the points that will now be noted are understood,use of the R Commander should for the most part be straightforward. From GUI to writing code:The R commander displays the code that it generates.Users can take this code,modify it,and re-run it.The code can be run either from the R Commander script window or from the R console window (if open). The active data set:The R commander has the notion of an active data set.Here are alternative ways to make a data set active.Start by clicking on the Data drop-down menu.Then Click on Active data set,and pick from among data sets,if any,in the workspace. Click on Import data,and follow instructions,to read in data from a file.The data set is read into the workspace,at the same time becoming the active data set. Click on New data set...,then entering data via a spreadsheet-like interface. Click on Data in packages,click on Read Data from Package,then identify one of the attached packages and choose a data set from among those that are included with the package. A further possibility is to load data from an R image(.RData)file;click on Load data set... Creating graphs:To draw graphs,click on the Graphs drop-down menu.Then Click on Scatterplot...to obtain a scatterplot.This uses the function scatterplot()from the car package,which is an option rich interface to functions that are in base graphics. .Click on X Y conditioning plot...for lattice scatterplots and panels of scatterplots. Click on 3D graph to obtain a 3D scatterplot,using the R Commander function scatter3d() that is an interface to functions in the rgl package. 1At startup,the R Commander checks whether all the suggested packages,needed to use all its features,are available. If some are missing,then upon starting up,the R commander offers to install them.For installing such packages,there must be a live internet connection

Chapter 2 Base Graphics Base Graphics implements a relatively "traditional"style of graphics: Plots go to one or more pages of a graphics device(screen,or hardcopy) plot(),etc. Sets up figure region,with user region inside,usually starts the graph. Other functions that initiate a graph include hist()and boxplot(). Typically,it also creates the main part,or all,of the graph. Use points(),lines(),text(),mtext(),axis(),rug(),identify(),etc., to add to the graph.
