Fundamentals of Data Visualization

A guide to making visualizations that accurately reflect the data, tell a story, and look professional.

Claus O. Wilke

This repository holds the R Markdown source for the book "Fundamentals of Data Visualization" to be published with O’Reilly Media, Inc. A rendered version of the completed book chapters is available here. The book requires a supporting R package available here.

The book is meant as a guide to making visualizations that accurately reflect the data, tell a story, and look professional. It has grown out of my experience of working with students and postdocs in my laboratory on thousands of data visualizations. Over the years, I have noticed that the same issues arise over and over. I have attempted to collect my accumulated knowledge from these interactions in the form of this book.

If you notice typos or other issues, feel free to open an issue on GitHub or send me a pull request. If you do the latter, in your commit message, please add the sentence "I assign the copyright of this contribution to Claus O. Wilke," so that I can maintain the option of publishing this book in other forms.
