Scatter Plots in R Language

Scatterplots show many points plotted in the Cartesian plane. Each point represents the values of two variables. One variable is chosen in the horizontal axis and another in the vertical axis.

The simple scatterplot is created using the plot()function.

Syntax

The basic syntax for creating scatterplot in R is −

plot(x, y, main, xlab, ylab, xlim, ylim, axes)
Following is the description of the parameters used −

x is the data set whose values are the horizontal coordinates.

y is the data set whose values are the vertical coordinates.

main is the tile of the graph.

xlab is the label in the horizontal axis.

ylab is the label in the vertical axis.

xlim is the limits of the values of x used for plotting.

ylim is the limits of the values of y used for plotting.

axes indicates whether both axes should be drawn on the plot.

Example

We use the data set "mtcars" available in the R environment to create a basic scatterplot. Let's use the columns "wt" and "mpg" in mtcars.

input <- mtcars[,c('wt','mpg')] print(head(input))
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

wt mpg Mazda RX4 2.620 21.0 Mazda RX4 Wag 2.875 21.0 Datsun 710 2.320 22.8 Hornet 4 Drive 3.215 21.4 Hornet Sportabout 3.440 18.7 Valiant 3.460 18.1
Creating the Scatterplot

The below script will create a scatterplot graph for the relation between wt(weight) and mpg(miles per gallon).

# Get the input values. input <- mtcars[,c('wt','mpg')] 
# Give the chart file a name. png(file = "scatterplot.png") 
# Plot the chart for cars with weight between 2.5 to 5 and mileage between 15 and 30. plot(x = input$wt,y = input$mpg, xlab = "Weight", ylab = "Milage", xlim = c(2.5,5), ylim = c(15,30), main = "Weight vs Milage" )
 # Save the file. dev.off()
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result −

Scatterplot Matrices

When we have more than two variables and we want to find the correlation between one variable versus the remaining ones we use scatterplot matrix. We use pairs() function to create matrices of scatterplots.

SYNTAX

The basic syntax for creating scatterplot matrices in R is −

pairs(formula, data)
Following is the description of the parameters used −

formula represents the series of variables used in pairs.

data represents the data set from which the variables will be taken.

EXAMPLE

Each variable is paired up with each of the remaining variable. A scatterplot is plotted for each pair.

# Give the chart file a name. png(file = "scatterplot_matrices.png") # Plot the matrices between 4 variables giving 12 plots. 
# One variable with 3 others and total 4 variables. pairs(~wt+mpg+disp+cyl,data = mtcars, main = "Scatterplot Matrix") # Save the file. dev.off()
When the above code is executed we get the following output.

R packages

R packages are a collection of R functions, complied code and sample data. They are stored under a directory called "library" in the R environment. By default, R installs a set of packages during installation. More packages are added later, when they are needed for some specific purpose. When we start the R console, only the default packages are available by default. Other packages which are already installed have to be loaded explicitly to be used by the R program that is going to use them.
All the packages available in R language are listed at R Packages.
Below is a list of commands to be used to check, verify and use the R packages.

Check Available R Packages

Get library locations containing R packages
.libPaths()

When we execute the above code, it produces the following result. It may vary depending on the local settings of your pc.
[2] "C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.2/library"

Get the list of all the packages installed

library()
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result. It may vary depending on the local settings of your pc.
Packages in library ‘C:/Program Files/R/R-3.2.2/library’:

base                    The R Base Package
boot                    Bootstrap Functions (Originally by Angelo Canty
                        for S)
class                   Functions for Classification
cluster                 "Finding Groups in Data": Cluster Analysis
                        Extended Rousseeuw et al.
codetools               Code Analysis Tools for R
compiler                The R Compiler Package
Get all packages currently loaded in the R environment
search()
When we execute the above code, it produces the following result. It may vary depending on the local settings of your pc.
[1] ".GlobalEnv"        "package:stats"     "package:graphics" 
[4] "package:grDevices" "package:utils"     "package:datasets" 
[7] "package:methods"   "Autoloads"         "package:base" 

Install a New Package

There are two ways to add new R packages. One is installing directly from the CRAN directory and another is downloading the package to your local system and installing it manually.

INSTALL DIRECTLY FROM CRAN

The following command gets the packages directly from CRAN webpage and installs the package in the R environment. You may be prompted to choose a nearest mirror. Choose the one appropriate to your location.
 install.packages("Package Name")
 
# Install the package named "XML".
 install.packages("XML")

INSTALL PACKAGE MANUALLY

Go to the link R Packages to download the package needed. Save the package as a .zip file in a suitable location in the local system.
Now you can run the following command to install this package in the R environment.
install.packages(file_name_with_path, repos = NULL, type = "source")

# Install the package named "XML"
install.packages("E:/XML_3.98-1.3.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source")

Load Package to Library

Before a package can be used in the code, it must be loaded to the current R environment. You also need to load a package that is already installed previously but not available in the current environment.
A package is loaded using the following command −
library("package Name", lib.loc = "path to library")

# Load the package named "XML"
install.packages("E:/XML_3.98-1.3.zip", repos = NULL, type = "source")
