 ### Visualising distributions
 
-How you visualise the distribution of a variable will depend on whether the variable is categorical or continuous. A variable is **categorical** if it can only take one of small set of values. In R, categorical variables are usually saved as factors or character vectors. To examine the distribution of a categorical variable, use a bar chart:

 Now that you can visualise variation, what should you look for in your plots? And what type of follow-up questions should you ask? I've put together a list below of the most useful types of information that you will find in your graphs, along with some follow up questions for each type of information. The key to asking good follow up questions will be to rely on your **curiosity** (What do you want to learn more about?) as well as your **skepticism** (How could this be misleading?).

-If you want learn more about ggplot2, I'd highly recommend grabbing a copy of the ggplot2 book: <https://amzn.com/331924275X>. It's been recently updated, so includes dplyr and tidyr code, and has much more space to explore all the facets of visualisation. Unfortunately the book isn't generally available for free,  but if you have a connection to a university you can probably get an electronic version for free through SpringerLink.
