Dear R users, Following some of the recent questions and discussions about the R plotting abilities, it occurred to me again that it would be very valuable to have an R graph gallery. Eric Lecoutre made a very nice example in: http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/ISpersonnel/lecoutre/stats/fichiers/_gallery.pdf It would be very useful to many beginners, but probably also advanced users of R, to have an overview of R graph types with graphical examples and associated R code. In order to facilitate the evolution of a large gallery, some sort of wiki environment might be most suitable, thus providing access to all users, but with limited maintenance costs for the provider. Do others agree this could be a valuable resource? Would anybody have the resources to host such an R graph gallery? Yours, Sander Oom. -- --------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Sander P.

Hello Sander,
That's a good idea and i am up to it.
Right now i am in an exam period, so it's not really the better time,
give me a couple of weeks and i will come up with a specific format of R
files to submit to me that i could post-process to generate html documents.
To my mind, those html files should show :
- the plot itself
+ Submitter(s)
- web page
- email (eventually protected, I don't know how to do it)
- Bibliographic references
- Required R packages
+ Commentaries
- in english
- and in any other languages
I'm open to any suggestion.
Romain.
