Abstract
This chapter outlines to steps to creating bar graphs and scatterplots. These are two of the most common types of graphs people produce in ecology and evolutionary biology and understanding them sets the stage for making other types of figures. The chapter also presents brief descriptions of how to save figures as a pdf and the lattice package by Deepayan Sarke.
