Abstract
Data visualization is a very useful tool supporting analyses of agricultural data at each stage, including data exploration, interpretation, and drawing conclusions. It frequently helps one to observe patterns in data, find outliers or untypical values, which otherwise would be difficult to detect. However, the usefulness of visualization can be greatly improved by the dynamic user’s influence on the graph by interactive visualization. This paper introduces basic possibilities of applying such type of visualization to improve interpretational possibilities in data analysis. In this way we want to direct the readers’ attention to rich opportunities that interactive visualization offers. The R environment is used in the paper; each example includes also the R code, which can be used by the reader to run the example, but can also be used in practical data analysis.
