Wilkinson’s book, The Grammar of Graphics, defined grammar to express the underlying structure of statistical graphs. This allowed us to go from a fixed set of named graphs, such as scatter or line plots, to a whole range of more complex visualizations. This was possible since grammar sets up the rules to combine different components to create new graphs.

This section will discuss the main aspects of this grammar so that we can understand their adaptations to the Julia language.
The main components of a graph, according to the Layered Grammar of Graphics, are as follows:
