Fundamentals of Data Visualization by Claus O. Wilke

Abhi — Sat, 08 Jun 2024 16:07:19 -0500

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.

The entire book is written in R Markdown, using RStudio as my text editor and the bookdown package to turn a collection of markdown documents into a coherent whole. The book’s source code is hosted on GitHub, at https://github.com/clauswilke/dataviz.

Allison Cleary, 2015 Grand Prize Winner

“My advice for those thinking about applying for the Science and SciLifeLab Prize is to just go for it! It wasn’t the easiest thing trying to frame my work in a broader context, but in the end, I think it was a very healthy experience. I think everyone could benefit from trying to do that with their work.“

Tim Wang, 2018 Category Winner
