Hi Two new packages have just been uploaded to the _DEVEL_ section on CRAN: 1. package "grid" AUTHOR Paul Murrell OVERVIEW This package provides an altenative graphics system for R. FEATURES Very flexible layout facilities (viewports, units, layouts) Component-based design (graphics can be constructed incrementally and hierarchically) Basic support for interaction (graphics functions return "objects") Highly customisable and extensible BUGS/UNIMPLEMENTED FEATURES No clipping Only single active device Viewport rotation very fragile ... 2. package "lattice" AUTHOR Deepayan Sarkar OVERVIEW This package provides graphics functionality similar to the Trellis suite in S-Plus. FEATURES Mutipanel plots of one or two variables conditioned on one or more other variables. Formula-style specification of conditioning. Strips atop the panels to indicate levels of the conditioning variables. BUGS/UNIMPLEMENTED FEATURES The "key" argument. The "font" argument. The lattice package uses the graphics system provided by grid so you will need to download both packages in order to use lattice. Furthermore, the packages are most likely to work only with the latest development release of R. At the very least they require R 1.2.0 or later. The packages are in the DEVEL section of CRAN because they are far from complete and have many bugs and missing features. However, they should contain sufficient functionality to be of use to some people. We are also very interested in feedback on things that don't work, things that people don't like, and even things that people do like :) Paul Murrell Deepayan Sarkar -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-announce mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

Paul, Thanks for these. I've put Windows versions up. Next iteration can you make your .ps files with type1 fonts (dvips -Ppfb or -Pwww or a local incantation) or provide the sources? That way they will render better at different resolutions, and even distill to PDF (which is a lot more universally available).

Paul, Sorry, I meant to send part of that to r-help and part of it just to you. But the message (use type1 fonts) is pretty general.

Hi, Cllicking around the ETH mirror I cannot find a link to _DEVEL_ section on CRAN. Also, http://stat.ethz.ch/CRAN/_DEVEL_/ will lead nowhere. What am I missing?
