Book cover Multivariate Analysis of Ecological Data with ade4

Abstract

This chapter outlines the main characteristics of the adegraphics package. The structure of graphical objects, classes and associated methods are explained. Several examples show how user-level functions can be used to draw scientific graphs particularly adapted to multivariate data analysis. Automated collection of graphs, spatial representations, and the case of big data sets are detailed.
