: Following some of the recent questions and discussions about the R

: valuable to have an R graph gallery.

: Eric Lecoutre made a very nice example in:
: http://www.stat.ucl.ac.be/ISpersonnel/lecoutre/stats/fichiers/_gallery.pdf

Paul Murrell also has an extensive set of images:

: It would be very useful to many beginners, but probably also advanced 
: users of R, to have an overview of R graph types with graphical examples 
:   and associated R code.
: 
: In order to facilitate the evolution of a large gallery, some sort of 
: wiki environment might be most suitable, thus providing access to all 
: users, but with limited maintenance costs for the provider.
: 
: Do others agree this could be a valuable resource? Would anybody have 
: the resources to host such an R graph gallery?


Note that Detlef Steuer set up an R wiki at:

   http://fawn.unibw-hamburg.de/cgi-bin/Rwiki.pl?RwikiHome

that could be used as it does support images:
