In Detail
ggplot2 is without doubt one of the so much subtle and complex programs of R and its use is consistently starting to be locally of R programmers. This e-book is the fitting start line in your trip in studying approximately the most subtle and wide-spread plotting tools―ggplot2.
You will commence by means of taking a journey of the main suitable programs to be had in R to create plots, resembling pics, lattice, and ggplot2. Following this, you'll take a deep dive into the suggestions of ggplot2 by means of overlaying other forms of plots to help you equipment up in your first hands-on venture. After this primary flavor of the features of ggplot2, you are going to discover intimately the visualization process carried out during this package deal, the so-called grammar of pictures, supplying you with the fundamentals to appreciate the behind the curtain options within the plotting features. ultimately, you are going to have a look at a few really expert and complex purposes of ggplot2, comparable to easy methods to become aware of a posh scatterplot matrix, heatmaps, and the way to make spatial visualization graphs.

As you will see, the code between these functions is not completely different since they are both based on the same underlying philosophy, but the way in which the options are set is quite different, so if you want to adapt a plot from one function to the other, you will essentially need to rewrite your code. If you just want to focus on learning only one of them, I would definitely recommend that you learn ggplot(). In the following code, you will see an example of a plot realized with ggplot2, where you can identify some of the components of the grammar of graphics.
If you have a look at the different forums based on R programming, there is quite a bit of discussion as to which of these two functions would be more convenient to use. My general recommendation would be that it depends on the type of graph you are drawing more frequently. For simple and standard plots, where only the data should be represented and only the minor modification of standard layouts are required, the qplot() function will do the job. On the other hand, if you need to apply particular transformations to the data or if you would just like to keep the freedom of controlling and defining the different details of the plot layout, I would recommend that you focus on ggplot().
