R devel - Mar 2005 - Small suggestion for stripchart help

I needed to look up information about the 'jitter' argument of
stripchart.
 When I opened the help page for jitter I found:

jitter 	when jittering is used, jitter gives the amount of jittering applied.

which is slightly confusing/self-referential if you are lazy and don't
read the entire page.

It might be clearer to say

jitter  when \code{method="jitter"} is used, jitter gives the amount
of
jittering applied.


Just my opinion.  Thanks for listening.

Thank you, Kevin.

I've just committed your improvement (to
 ..../src/library/graphics/man/stripchart.Rd).
