Aside from how or where this would be accomplished, I think it would be useful if each graphic had a one or two paragraph explanation that walks a person through it. There appears to be some facility right now in RGG but in most cases more explanation is needed and as a result one often does not really know what one is looking at. I was thinking of something like this explanation as what is desired:
https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-February/086667.html I guess the alternatives are: - solicit such explanations from the graph submitters and add each such explanation by hand to RGG. - have links from RGG to the wiki (and back in the other direction too) in which case the graph submitters could enter the info themself - incorporate RGG functionality into the wiki - incorporate wiki functionality into RGG On 2/13/06, Romain Francois <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Le 13.02.2006 11:53, Philippe Grosjean a écrit : > > Patrick Burns wrote: > >> I've had a brief email conversation with Romain > >> Francois about the prospect of incorporating the > >> R graphics gallery into the R-wiki. > >> > >> I, perhaps naively, thought that such a merger would > >> be a good idea.
