Description
The theme of the session is R graphics -- producing statistical graphics using the R statistical programming environment. The first talk by Vincent Carey will introduce the built-in capabilities of R graphics and discuss some of its strengths and weaknesses. This will be followed by two discussions of how to extend R's graphics capabilities: writing new R functions (Uwe Ligges' scatterplot3d package) and linking external graphics code (Duncan Murdoch's RGL package). The final two talks will show R graphics working in concert with other software: Erich Neuwirth will discuss embedding R graphics in Excel and Deborah Swayne will describe some interactions between R and GGobi.
