  • 1
    • Using mtcars, create a plot base layer, plt_mpg_vs_wt. Map mpg onto y and wt onto x.
    • Add a point layer, mapping the categorical no. of cylinders, fcyl, onto size.
    • 2

      Change the mapping. This time fcyl should be mapped onto alpha.

    • 3

      Change the mapping again. This time fycl should be mapped onto shape.

    • 4
      • Swap the geom layer: change points to text.
      • Change the mapping again. This time fycl should be mapped onto label.
