The book "lattice: Multivariate Data Visualization with R" by Deepayan Sarkar is a comprehensive guide to the R lattice package, which implements William Cleveland's trellis graphics system. The lattice package is known for its powerful and flexible visualization capabilities, including various types of plots such as scatterplots, density plots, and level plots. The book is divided into three parts: Part I introduces the basics of lattice, including conditioning, shingles, aspect, layout, scales, and panel functions, with a focus on univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data visualization. Part II delves into specific topics such as graphical parameters, axes, legends, data handling, objects, and interaction. Part III discusses extending lattice through panel functions and object-oriented programming. The book includes 150 sample graphics and is designed to be a standard reference for both new and experienced users of lattice, providing clear explanations and numerous examples. While the documentation is concise, the book effectively conveys the concepts and techniques of lattice, making it a valuable resource for those interested in using lattice graphics in R.The book "lattice: Multivariate Data Visualization with R" by Deepayan Sarkar is a comprehensive guide to the R lattice package, which implements William Cleveland's trellis graphics system.
