+### New to Plotly?
+
+Plotly's R library is free and open source!
+[Get started](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/) by downloading the client and [reading the primer](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/).
+You can set up Plotly to work in [online](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/#hosting-graphs-in-your-online-plotly-account) or [offline](https://plot.ly/r/offline/) mode.
+We also have a quick-reference [cheatsheet](https://images.plot.ly/plotly-documentation/images/r_cheat_sheet.pdf) (new!) to help you get started!
+
+### Version Check
+
+Version 4 of Plotly's R package is now [available](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/#installation)!
+Check out [this post](http://moderndata.plot.ly/upgrading-to-plotly-4-0-and-above/) for more information on breaking changes and new features available in this version.
+
+```{r}
+library(plotly)
+packageVersion('plotly')
+```
+
+### Basic geom\_count Plot
+geom\_count is a way to plot two variables that are not continuous. Here's a modified version of the nycflights13 dataset that comes with R; it shows 2013 domestic flights leaving New York's three airports. This graph maps two categorical variables: which of America's major airports it was headed to, and which major carrier was operating it.
+
+It's good to show the full airport names for destinations, rather than just the airport codes. You can use aes(group = ), which doesn't modify the graph in any way but adds information to the labels.
+
+```{r, results='hide'}
+library(plotly)
+flightdata <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/flightdata.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
+
+p <- ggplot(flightdata, aes(y=airline, x=dest, colour = dest, group=airport)) +
+ geom_count(alpha=0.5) +
+ labs(title = "Flights from New York to major domestic destinations",
+ x = "Origin and destination",
+ y = "Airline",
+ size = "")
+ggplotly(p)
+
+# Create a shareable link to your chart
+# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
+chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_count/basic-plot")
+chart_link
+```
+
+```{r echo=FALSE}
+chart_link
+```
+
+### Adding a Third Variable
+By using facets, we can add a third variable: which of New York's three airports it departed from. We can also colour-code by this variable.
+
+```{r, results='hide'}
+library(plotly)
+flightdata <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/flightdata.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
+
+p <- ggplot(flightdata, aes(y=airline, x=origin, colour=origin, group=airport)) +
+ geom_count(alpha=0.5) +
+ facet_grid(. ~ dest) +
+ labs(title = "Flights from New York to major domestic destinations",
+ x = "Origin and destination",
+ y = "Airline",
+ size = "")
+ggplotly(p)
+
+# Create a shareable link to your chart
+# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
+chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_count/three-variables")
+chart_link
+```
+
+```{r echo=FALSE}
+chart_link
+```
+
+### Customized appearance
+The airport labels at the bottom aren't very visible and aren't very important, since there's a colour key to the side; we can get rid of the text and ticks using theme() options. Let's also use the LaCroixColoR package to give this geom\_count chart a new colour scheme.
+
+```{r, results='hide'}
+library(plotly)
+library(LaCroixColoR)
+flightdata <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/flightdata.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
+
+p <- ggplot(flightdata, aes(y=airline, x=origin, colour=origin, group=airport)) +
+ geom_count(alpha=0.5) +
+ facet_grid(. ~ dest) +
+ scale_colour_manual(values = lacroix_palette("PassionFruit", n=3)) +
+ theme(axis.text.x = element_blank(),
+ axis.ticks.x = element_blank()) +
+ labs(title = "Flights from New York to major domestic destinations",
+ x = "Origin and destination",
+ y = "Airline",
+ size = "")
+ggplotly(p)
+
+# Create a shareable link to your chart
+# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
+chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_count/customize-theme")
+chart_link
+```
+
+```{r echo=FALSE}
+chart_link
+```
+
+### geom\_count vs geom\_point
+Here's a comparison of geom\_count and geom\_point on the same dataset (rounded for geom\_count). Geom\_point has the advantage of allowing multiple colours on the same graph, as well as a label for each point. But even with a low alpha, there are too many overlapping points to understand what the actual distribution looks like, only a general impression.
+
+```{r, results='hide'}
+library(plotly)
+library(dplyr)
+beers <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/beers.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
+
+df <- beers %>%
+ mutate(abv = round(abv*100),
+ ibu = round(ibu/10)*10) %>%
+ filter(!is.na(style2))
+
+p <- ggplot(df, aes(x=abv, y=ibu, colour=style2)) +
+ geom_count(alpha=0.5) +
+ theme(legend.position = "none") +
+ facet_wrap(~style2)
+ggplotly(p)

+# Create a shareable link to your chart
