Statistical plots
FreeActually, all the plots you've explored in the first two ggplot2 courses can be considered 'statistical plots'. Here, however, you'll consider those that are intended for a specialist audience that is familiar with the data: box plots and density plots.

Plots for specific data types (Part 1)
In this chapter, you'll explore useful specialty plots for specific data types such as ternary plots, networks and maps. You'll also look at how to use ggplot2 to convert typical base package plots that are used to evaluate the results of statistical methods. Finally, you'll take a look at a couple ways in which you can make and appropriately use animations.

Plots for specific data types (Part 2)
In this chapter, we'll continue our discussion of plots for specific data types by diving into the world of maps. You'll also have a look at animations to make your data come to life!

ggplot2 Internals
In this chapter, you'll delve into ggplot2 internals, exploring the grid package and ggproto. You'll learn how to use these tools to create unique plots.

Data Munging and Visualization Case Study
In this chapter, you'll draw on some of the many tools for effective data visualization that we've covered over the three ggplot2 courses and combine them with some data munging techniques.
