[R] Hosting a R Graph Gallery?

[Robert Cunningham]

I too have often though a R-gallery would be useful.

It seems to me that a Wiki-style page with a database backend would be
the best bet.

It also seems to be that the best place to start is a complete image
gallery produced from all the examples in R base, then in packages in
CRAN. In this context the graphicsQC package
(http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/R/graphicsQC_0.4.tar.g) of Paul
Murrell seems useful.

Cheers, 


Robert Cunningham
