The Grammar of Graphics

The Grammar of Graphics is a framework for creating and understanding visual data representations systematically. It breaks down how charts and plots are built into components like data, how that data is mapped to visual elements (like position, color, size), and how these elements come together to tell a story or reveal patterns. Think of it as a set of rules or language for designing clear, consistent graphics, allowing you to construct complex visualizations by combining basic building blocks—making data visualization both flexible and precise.
