One potential limitation of base R graphics is the "pen-and-paper model" utilized to populate the plotting device.<ref>{{cite book|last=Wickham|first=Hadley|title=ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis |year=2009 |publisher=Springer |isbn=978-0-387-98140-6|pages=5}}</ref> Graphical output from the interpreter is added directly to the plotting device or window rather than separately for each distinct element of a plot.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Murrell |first=Paul |title=R Graphics|journal=Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Statistics|date=August 2009|volume=1|issue=2|pages=216–220|doi=10.1002/wics.22}}</ref> In this respect it is similar to the lattice package, though Wickham argues ggplot2 inherits a more formal model of graphics from Wilkinson.<ref>{{cite book|last=Sarkar|first=Deepayan|title=Lattice: multivariate data visualization with R|year=2008|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-0-387-75968-5|pages=xi}}</ref> As such, it allows for a high degree of modularity; the same underlying data can be transformed by many different scales or layers.<ref>{{cite book|last=Teetor|first=Paul|title=R Cookbook|year=2011|publisher=O'Reilly|isbn=978-0-596-80915-7|pages=223}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Wickham|first=Hadley|date=March 2010|title=A Layered Grammar of Graphics|url=http://vita.had.co.nz/papers/layered-grammar.pdf|journal=Journal of Computational and Graphical Statistics|volume=19|issue=1|pages=3–28|doi=10.1198/jcgs.2009.07098|s2cid=58971746}}</ref>
Plots may be created via the convenience function <code>qplot()</code> where arguments and defaults are meant to be similar to base R's <code>plot()</code> function.<ref>{{cite book|title=R: A language and environment for statistical computing|year=2011|publisher=R Foundation for Statistical Computing|___location=Vienna, Austria|isbn=978-3-900051-07-5|url=http://www.R-project.org/|author=R Development Core Team}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Ginestet|first=Cedric|title=ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis |journal=Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A |date=January 2011 |volume=174 |issue=1 |pages=245–246 |doi=10.1111/j.1467-985X.2010.00676_9.x}}</ref> More complex plotting capacity is available via <code>ggplot()</code> which exposes the user to more explicit elements of the grammar.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Muenchen|first1=Robert A.
