Plotting exercises for next Monday

[Paul Johnson <>]

Here is the thing I said I would work up for an exercise.  If you have 
been building your R and LyX skills as hoped, it should be pretty easy. 
I'm giving you almost all of the code, after all.

This is in pdf format because I used a pretty fancy thing called 
"Sweave" to prepare the document.

Sweave is a process that can make R work as a slave to the text 
processor, so that when you view the document, it calls R to fill in 
code results and graphs (unless you tell it not to show).

The file from which this comes is a lyx file, and you can open and read 
it.  But you will not be able to process it through lyx because you 
don't have the fancy Sweave setup that I do.  But I'm giving you the lyx 
file because it has the R-code in it.  You might want to cut and paste 
the R code, to avoid re-typing.

If you cannot figure how to extract the R code from that, I will try 
another route.  There is a way to go from lyx to HTML (for making web 
pages), but this computer I'm using right now had that feature removed 
(I cannot remember why)

There's a faculty meeting this afternoon, so I won't be in the lab after 
3 pm.  I will go in before that, however, from, say, 1:30 to 3pm, and I 
will go in there Weds or Thurs if you email me and let me know when you 
need  help.  Of course, barring natural disaster, I'll be there Friday 
as usually promised.
