# Communication with plots
*Section 2* will show you how to prepare your plots for communication. You'll learn how to make your plots more legible with titles, labels, zooming, and default visual themes.
```{r echo = FALSE, messages = FALSE, warning=FALSE}
```{r include = FALSE}
library(ggplot2)
```
# Communication with plots
The previous sections showed you how to make plots that you can use as a tools for _exploration_. When you made these plots, you knew---even before you looked at them---which variables the plot would display and which data sets the variables would come from. You might have even known what to look for in the completed plots, assuming that you made each plot with a goal in mind. As a result, it was not very important to put a title or a useful set of labels on your plots.
The importance of titles and labels changes once you use your plots for _communication_. Your audience will not share your background knowledge. In fact, they may not know anything about your plots except what the plots themselves display. If you want your plots to communicate your findings effectively, you will need to make them as self-explanatory as possible.
