Dear useRs,
a new version of the vcd package (0.9-5) is now available from CRAN.
Apart from (a lot of) bug fixes, it includes the following new features
(some of them have 'silently' been included in previous bug fix
releases):
* Improved documentation:
- an introductory vignette on the strucplot framework (including
mosaic, association and sieve plots)
- special vignettes on using/extending shading and labeling functions
* New function spine() for spinograms and spine plots
* New function cd_plot() for conditional density plots
* New function cotabplot() for visualizing conditional independence in a
trellis-like layout, providing panel functions for association,
mosaic, and sieve plots
* Sieve plots are now integrated in the strucplot framework, sieve()
replaces sieveplot()
* Extended support for 'structable' objects (textual representation of
mosaic plots):
- structable objects can be used as input for mosaic(), sieve(), and
assoc()
- extract ("[") and replacement ("[<-") functions are
available (old
"[[" method removed)
- methods for t(), dim(), as.matrix(), as.vector(), as.table(), etc.
are available
* New panel function pairs_diagonal_text() for pairs()
* The alternative legend function legend_fixed() now looks more similar
to the legend of mosaicplot() in base R
Comments are more then welcome!
David, Achim, Kurt.
PS: If you like modern art, try out demo(mondrian)! :)
