Hi ! mu name is Paolo and I teach statistic in a small college in Brazil and we use Linux. We started to use R as our statitical software. I,ve been trying to use some commands I see in the documentation online but i doesn not work. Commands like simple.hist.and.boxplot and others related with graphing. Do I need a special ppackage ? how do I load it ? Thanks

On a standard R installation, a lot is already available. See ?hist, ?boxplot, ?plot etc. or the Graphics section of the R manual "An Introduction to R". HTH, Tobias

Where did you find anything about a function "simple.hist.and.boxplot"? If you are talking about the online document "simpleR" by John Verzani, I'd suggest to look at the corresponding R package mentioned in that document. If it is not in there, either hack it yourself or ask the author. Have you already looked at ?hist and ?boxplot?
