:If you don't mind me butting in, I think you should try to keep all of your examples as simple as possible. In my experience learning how to program things, if I see an example page (on any website or in documentation) that has too many different ways of doing things, I get a little turned off. Also, we've recently run into a couple of problems with pages being too large so putting "every possible way" may actually create problems for the site if it's not done properly. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 19:19, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
In general, I agree with the sentiment that examples should be limited to the simplest possible case. The different plotting paradigms are such a fundamental thing in R though, that it seems a shame not to mention them. I personally find that in practical usage, I seldom use base graphics anymore. If you really want to trim it, then I'd say to get rid of the ggplot2 example, but keep the lattice one. The final decision should be made by someone who has been contributing longer than myself. --[[User:Richie Cotton|Richie Cotton]] 19:45, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
