geom_point() #scatterplot
geom_density_2d() #contour lines from x and y positions
geom_histogram() #histogram, use binwidth to change size of bins
geom_density() #density plot
geom_rug() #adds rug marks of raw data on the axes
geom_boxplot() #boxplot
geom_bar() #barplot, automatically transforms variables to counts using stat_count
geom_col() #column graph, need x and y variables
geom_line() #line chart
geom_label(aes(x=, y=, label=)) #gives a label at the specified x and y position
geom_freqpoly() #same as histogram but uses lines instead of bars, good for overlapping data
geom_area() #area chart
geom_smooth(method=‘lm’) #draws line of best fit. se=TRUE is default and displays the standard error lines aswell
geom_abline() #adds reference line, default is from data
geom_ribbon(x, ymin, ymax) #draws line with lower and upper bounds e.g. confidence interval
