[R] The R Graph Gallery {was boxplot statistics}

[Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W.]

I agree with Martin "R Graph Gallery" has a lot of neat stuff.

I also think there should be a on CRAN website a list of "R websites". And
in a perfect world one of the search engines scope would get extended to
search them all.

Let me take the opportunity to thank Romain for setting up and maintaining
the R Graph Gallery.

This is really a cool website for R users. 
He'd get my number one vote for "R website of the year"!
