The Gmisc package

Tools for making:

  • the descriptive "Table 1" used in medical articles
  • transition plot for showing changes between categories
  • flow charts based on the grid package
  • a method for variable selection based on the SVD
  • Bézier lines with arrows complementing the ones in the 'grid' package, and more.
