On December 3, 2009 I presented a brief talk at the NYC R meetup on how to create data visualizations with R using the immensely powerful ggplot2 package. The talk is very light on motivation but heavy on examples, so it may be more useful to those with some R and/or ggplot2 experience. The speaker that preceded me, Harlan Harris, provided a much more robust introduction to ggplot2; his slides are available here (requires OpenOffice) and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in learning the grammar of graphics and ggplot2.
UPDATE: Harlan’s talk is now available online as well, and is embedded below my talk after the jump–enjoy!
UPDATE II: I have invested in VCASMO to be able sync the slides with the video. I have updated the presentations below, and look forward to using this technology again for the January NYC R meetup.
I would be great if we could get one of those nifty video and slide syncs for the meetup talks—but until then—tThe slides and video are available after the jump, and I highly recommend viewing them in full-screen mode to get the most out of the slides—enjoy!

I’m not sure if its my browser but the “Download slides from my talk” link appears to be broken. Could the real link be http://www.drewconway.com/zia/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ggplot2.pdf ?
