how to program in ggplot2

[ashwin]

Hi,

I am new to R language and ggplot2. I am quite impressed by the
capabilites of the two. Now Can i learn to code in ggplot2 directly or
do i need to first learn R langauge to learn to use gglplot2. I am
intending to use ggplot2 is apache web server log crunching and
graphing the data and provide managers with a interface that they can
customize and drill down as much as they like. I wanted it to be web
based so that nothing needs to be installed in client side. I should
mention these logging is not by vanilla apache but specialized
program. So it is necessary for me to capture the same log line every
five minutes (as it will disappear and overwritten by a new aggregate
value) AND plot the graph. So does ggplot2 or r provide for a elegant
way to store these values and plot them? These data needs to be stored
for pretty long duration like 3 months data. So it is like capture
data every 5 mins and continue store such data for 3 months . So where
should i start? Can you provide me some pointers?

with regards,
ashwin

First of all, R is the language - ggplot2 is essentially a library. You thus
need to use R.

It also sounds like you need to save the data in, say, a database and then
query the database to generate the graph when requested. R is a programming
language - you can certainly use R to perform this step, or you can use
anything else.

I'd also check here:
