Vistat

When we see fancy graphs in a paper or a webpage, we often wonder how they were made. This website serves as a gallery of statistical graphics and visualizations with reproducible program code that makes the plots.

See http://vis.supstat.com for more information.

For admins, you are recommended to compile the website under Linux, and you will need a couple of packages. For example, you can install them under Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install rake jekyll sshfs r-base

Then install.packages('knitr') in R. The whole website can be built (after all missing packages have been installed) using

rake knit

and previewed at http://localhost:4000 by

rake preview
