Talking about Excel, you can produce excellent graphs in Excel. Yes you have to work at it, but you can get there. The problem is that they are not the default. My gut feeling is that R will make more of an impact in the presentation of graphics than any implementation in Excel.
So even if a patent were granted and it made itself into a mainstream package, would it change the world or would the people who currently use three dee (3D) graphs think that they looked a bit square. Or would the implementation allow us to change the colour of each diamond or maybe we could put a picture of our daughter as a background. Does change happen from the tool or the user. So I guess my reason for saying R will make more of an impact is because the average R user cares about what they are doing when compared to the average Excel user. also On Thu, 28 Aug 2003, David Scott wrote: > What is a hanging rootogram? ;-D Now I can't work out what the wink means, but they're implemented in the VCD package Also http://www.math.yorku.ca/SCS/vcd/vcdstory.pdf for more info _________________________________________________ Tom Mulholland Senior Policy Officer WA Country Health Service Tel: (08) 9222 4062 The contents of this e-mail transmission are confidential an...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
