re: plotting

  • Heather A Piwowar 12:56, 22 July 2010 (EDT): Nice work, Nic. A few tips to make these plots easier to read for others, and for embedding in papers, later.
  • add a title. Right after doing plot(response), do
title("This is a title")

and you should see it appear at the top of the plot

  • rename your variable. I wasn't very creative in calling the new variable simple.var, so you can do way better :) Use a different variable name for the shared variable ("any.sharing.policy" or somehting) than for the cited instructions variable ( "any.cited.policy" or "has.policy.on.cite.format" or something). That will make the variable at the bottom of your plots (and your code) easier to decypher
  • save as png and embed. Do you know how to save a figure in R? see
?png

for examples. Then you can upload to OWW, and I think make it show up in the body of your pages using
