ggplot2
An implementation of the Grammar of Graphics in R
ggplot2 is a system written in R for declaratively creating graphics. It is based on The Grammar of Graphics, which focuses on following a layered approach to describe and construct visualizations or graphics in a structured manner. With ggplot2 you simply provide the data, tell ggplot2 how to map variables to aesthetics, what graphical primitives to use, and it will take care of the rest. ggplot2 is over 10 years old and is used by hundreds of thousands of people all over the world for plotting. In most cases using ggplot2 starts with supplying a dataset and aesthetic mapping (with aes()); adding on layers (like geom_point() or geom_histogram()), scales (like scale_colour_brewer()), and faceting specifications (like facet_wrap()); and finally, coordinating systems. ggplot2 has a rich ecosystem of community-maintained extensions for those looking for more innovation. ggplot2 is a part of the tidyverse, an ecosystem of R packages designed for data science. -

Open Source Data Science Tools Guide
Open source data science tools are programs that allow users to collect, analyze, access and edit large amounts of data. These tools provide a variety of features that can help people better understand the data and create useful visualizations for easier comprehension. They have become an increasingly popular option for organizations looking to quickly get useful insights from their data sets.
These tools offer many advantages over traditional methods of analyzing data. One such advantage is the cost savings associated with open source data science software as compared to licensed versions of analytics packages. With an open source model, users can customize their own solutions without having to purchase expensive licenses or pay hefty fees for support services. Additionally, most open source projects provide freely available updates and extensions, so the user has direct control over how they want to use their software package.
Another major benefit is speed and flexibility with respect to implementation time frame and scale; it is possible to rapidly deploy simple applications in a short period of time using coding languages such as Python or R instead of SQL queries in order to query databases or manipulate large datasets prior to analysis. This eliminates much costly manual labor which would otherwise be required when dealing with larger datasets or more production-level applications in need of customization due technical requirements or timing constraints.
The increased convenience enabled by these tools means less engineering overhead which leads to faster processing times. Additionally, open source projects tend to be backed by vibrant communities and provide excellent documentation resources; this ensures that users can quickly find answers when they encounter problems while using the product and reusable code snippets are readily available on many webpages dedicated solely towards helping new developers familiarize themselves with said products far quicker than ever before thought possible. Furthermore, since almost every language used by these technologies leverages open standards such as HTTP/HTTPS protocol support (for accessing API endpoints) there’s even more opportunity for those wanting rapid integration into existing systems without too much additional overhead involved – saving both money & time along the way.
All in all, open-source data science tools offer great potential for individuals and companies looking for cost efficient solutions capable of accelerating development cycles while still providing stable performance standards & reliable computing power afforded only through “industrial-strength” packages like MATLAB or SAS Enterprise Miner (to name but two leading examples). The proliferation of free tutorials found online further sweetens the deal; meaning anyone interested will quickly find answers applicable regardless if they’re just getting started on journey towards becoming a professional analyst or just need occasional advice concerning specific issues related specifically related topics within domain area concerned.
