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.
