The R Graph Gallery




Welcome to the R graph gallery, a collection of charts made with the R programming language. Hundreds of charts are displayed in several sections, always with their reproducible code available. The gallery makes a focus on the tidyverse and ggplot2. Feel free to suggest a chart or report a bug: any feedback is highly welcome! Note that if you like this gallery, you'll love my newsletter!

The Largest Collection of R Chart Examples

The R Graph Gallery boasts the most extensive compilation of R-generated graphs on the web.

Featuring over 400 examples, our collection is meticulously organized into nearly 50 chart types, following the data-to-viz classification. Each example comes with reproducible code and a detailed explanation of its functionality.

We begin each chart type with a foundational tutorial that outlines its core structure and purpose. Once you've grasped the basics, our step-by-step guides offer insights into elementary customizations. This ensures that your charts not only visualize data effectively but also resonate with your unique requirements.

What chart type should you use?

Choosing the right chart type for a dataset can be challenging.

The R Graph Gallery is connected to Data To Viz, a project that offers a decision tree to help you find the available chart type based on your data format. It then explores the various options to guide you toward the right choice!
