[R] An unprofessional message

[Yihui Xie]

As a useR, you'd better present this message in a more professional
way :) Let's see Christmas shining in R:

n = length(speed <- runif(angle <- runif(x <- strsplit("MERRY
CHRISTMAS", "")[[1]], 0, 360), 0, 15))
x11(10, 3)
par(mar = rep(0, 4), bg = "black")
for (j in 1:1000) {
    angle = angle + speed
    plot.new()
    plot.window(c(1, n), c(0, 1))
    for (i in 1:n) text(i, 0.5, x[i], srt = angle[i], cex = runif(1,
1, 4), col = sample(colors(), 1))
    Sys.sleep(0.02)
}


Regards,
Yihui
