Introduction

Ah…ggplot ! All those wonderful pictures and graphs, that Alice might have relished!

Metaphors, aesthetics, geometries…and pictures !! ggplot seems to equate ravens to writing desks in its syntax…and out come graphs!!

And colours: Wes Anderson! Tim Burton! The Economist… and many others!!
