[R] [FORGED] Re: Line with linearly changing thickness – installation issues

[Paul Murrell]

Hi

This should hopefully work ...

library(devtools); install_github("pmur002/vwline/pkg using v0.1")

You can also do ...

library(devtools); install_github("pmur002/gridBezier using v1.0-0")
library(devtools); install_github("pmur002/vwline/pkg using v0.2-1")

... to get the latest version.

There is more info at ...

https://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/Reports/VWline/vwline-intro/power-curve.html

... and even more in several other reports at ...
