advanced tabulation

i make me thoughts about a  "advanced tabulation"  package similar to
commercial software products like Quantum or Wincross.

Before i'm beginning to fight with coding - is in the mailing-List anybody
doing something similar in the past and have a good starting point
and/or suggestions for me ?

My purpose ist to define for a dataset  headers (i.e. sex,age-groupes..)
which should write in the colums of a landscape table and percentage all
other
variables ( rows) dependence to the header category !?

P.S. The first attempts sure more easy than
the possibilities in wincross  .......

summary(columnvariable ~ rowvar1+rowvar2+...., method='reverse') will do what you want, if you are interested in separate summaries for each row variable.  This uses the summary.formula function in the Hmisc library (http://hesweb1.med.virginia.edu/biostat/s/Hmisc.html) for which there are plot, print, and latex methods for formatting the output.  For 2-way cross-classified summaries see method='cross'.

Just curious. Why is the 3D plot of Octave so much faster than R's? Like,
Octave's mesh vs R's persp or lattice's wireframe.

Thanks.

...this is really a good starting point !
An improvement should be the possibility use in a function more than 1
column variable !?

I check/AttemptToUnderstand next days the functions from Hmisc and Kickstart
more deeply and
perhaps the modification's are not so difficult !?

P.S.
summary (Hmisc) is a generic function !?
Is it pure R code ?

regards, christian
