What is Aesthetic Mappings?
Aesthetic mappings connect columns in your data to visual properties of a plot, like position, color, size, or shape. Writing aes(x = year, y = revenue, color = region) tells ggplot2 to plot year against revenue and color each point by region. Choosing the right aesthetics for the right variables makes the difference between a clear plot and a confusing one.
