Thread-topic: [S] (or R) High level R graphics functions?

Lawrence,

 

I would highly recommend that you visit the R Graph Gallery, it has many excellent graph examples and the source code used to generate the graph:

Subject: [S] (or R) High level R graphics functions?

 

Good afternoon, folks.

It seems that TIBCO is trying to reduce access to their help line, now that they have taken over Insightful and control of S-PLUS.  Access to the help desk was one of the two main reasons that I had continued to use S-PLUS rather than switching over to R.  The other main reason was that I found the S graphics functions – especially the Editable Graphics – easier to use than the lower level R graphics functions.  Now I am reassessing whether to make the switch. 

To this end, are there available any packages of higher level graphics functions – such for example as plotting x vs. y with error bars – available for use within the R environment?  In general, one would want functions to do most of the specific types of plot now supported within S-PLUS.  I have downloaded R itself and some of the available packages, but I haven’t located any packages specifically devoted to high level graphics.

As always, thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with the above.
