Dear all, I have written a small set of functions for drawing graphical representations of R objects and evaluations of R expressions. It is mainly intended for pedagogical purposes. Here are some samples: http://panini.u-paris10.fr/~sloiseau/sampleGraphics.pdf The idea is to use some graphical conventions in order to make clear the abstract syntax and to explain function, extraction, recycling, type conversion, properties of data structures, etc. I would be very interested in your reactions and comments. I'm wondering if it may become a R package. Does something like this already exist? May it be useful? What improvement may be planned? Have you some idea for the name of such a package (visualR, seeR... ?) Best regards, Sylvain -- Sylvain Loiseau sylvain.loiseau at unicaen.fr Universit? de Caen Basse Normandie Maison de la Recherche en Sciences Humaines MRSH - SH018 Esplanade de la Paix Campus 1 14032 Caen Cedex

Very nice. Certainly it would be welcome to see this packaged for widespread use. On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 2:20 PM, Sylvain Loiseau

Nice idea. But I think "visualR" or "seeR" are way too vague. How about "drawExpressions", or "showExpressions"? -Felix 2009/12/24 Sylvain Loiseau <sylvain.loiseau at unicaen.fr>:

Thanks! I have submitted a project on R-forge (not sure it is the good place), with package name "drawExpression". Sylvain Le 23 d?c. 2009 ? 23:16, Gabor Grothendieck a ?crit :
