Scatterplots are essential tools for the graphical analysis of relationships; many functions in R produce a wide variety of scatterplots. R has functions to produce general chart types, as well as special graphics adapted to suit particular needs, e.g. scatterplots for time series data.

The goal of these documents is not to cover all details but to provide enough information to enable you to produce the graphics shown in class.

• Adding lines and curvers
• Interact with graphics
• Scatterplots matrices
• Trellis, co-plots
