Happy New Year with R (2011, Fireworks!)
ast year I posted an animation created in R to celebrate the new year, and this year I’ve got a more fabulous animation. Unfortunately our Lord of CRAN (Kurt) has been out of office for several days, so I’m unable to publish my animation package on CRAN as scheduled. Anyway, for those who are curious
A Special Graphics Device in R: the Null Device
It is well-known that R has several graphics devices — either the screen devices (X11(), windows(), …) or the off-screen devices (pdf(), png(), …). We can query the default graphics device in options(): getOption('device') In a non-interactive session, the default device is pdf(). This is why Sweave has to create a file named Rplots.pdf no
Fun with infochimps: Animated Blog Post Hit Map

Ostensibly, the presentation will be on my recently released infochimps package, so I thought it was a good time to start actually putting together some examples and documentation for
Some ideas on communicating risks to the general public

Representations to use less often Single-event probabilities as
Rd2roxygen: Convert Rd to roxygen documentation

The required structure of an R package mainly includes two directories R and man — the former for the R source code (typically functions), and
Animate .gif images in R / ImageMagick
Yesterday I surfed the web looking for 3D wireframe examples to explain linear models in class. I stumbled across this site where animated 3D wireframe plots are outputted by SAS. Below I did something similar in R. This post shows the few steps of how to create an animated .gif file using R and ImageMagick. 
Because it’s Friday: Asteroids
A huge mass of rock hurtling in from space could really make a mess of your weekend plans. So it's comforting to know that the world's astronomers are out there keeping an eye for any potential earth-grazers. See their discoveries over the past 30 years in this beautifully-designed animation: Earth crossers are in red; earth approachers are in yellow;...
