[R-sig-teaching] purpose of list

[Robert W. Hayden]

Right now I am trying to remember how to get a scatterplot with
boxplots of x and y separately in the margin.  I think I need one of
the packages but I don't know which.

The above is a real call for help but also an example of the kind of
thing that is hard in R.  In the summer of 2007 I created a web page
for AP Statistics teachers (see sig file below).  There were lots of
resources out there, but it was hard for teachers to find them when
they needed them.  So I tried to organize them in the order in which
the topics might come up in the course.  It might be nice to have such
a page of R resources that told you, for example, of some R tools for
teaching scatterplots.  (Actually, I was teaching transformations, and
wanted the plot described above as a tool for deciding which variable
to transform.)
