Remarks about the previous example plots

Notice that in the previous set of slides, the example functions were just a set of functions which already existed in R.

It is convenient to work in an editor like emacs, try things out, find all the components needed to do the job and then save the set as an R function (e.g., cup.measures).

Transcript

Well, one thing so we can notice in the previous set of slides: Is that the example functions that we made, we're just using R functions. But it's also the case that we can add to them. But if we are going to write an R function. What is the easy way of writing the function? Well, the easiest method I've found is to simply go inside your emacs, create a shell window and run R. And enter the commands that you want. Once you found the sequence of things that you want to do, take those and put them into a named function. And now you can apply them again and again. And if you want, you can parametrize it, etc. But it makes it very, very easy to quickly find the set of things you want and to build a functional behavior that you like.
