Changes in Version 0.9-42 o added some vignettes, replacing the previous demos. o smart label positioning for mosaic plots. o use residual-based shading by default in mosaic plots. o changed the default style (see ?latticist.options), and improved automatic titles for some plots. Changes in Version 0.9-41 o fixed bug in latticist(use.playwith = TRUE), which failed when a custom entry was typed into a variable field. o changed graphics device initialisation in the gWidgets version of latticist, so it works now with JavaGD. o generalised the method for color-covariates used with cloud and parallel, to handle multiple panels (subscripts). Also, splom and stripplot now handle color-covariates too. o style settings (and more) can be set with latticist.options. o better help for ?latticistCompose and ?latticist.options. o added some demos. Changes in Version 0.9-40 o split Latticist out from 'playwith' into a new package. o latticist() is now a general interface, which can launch either a playwith-based GUI or a gWidgets-based GUI. o Latticist now supports table objects. o use package 'vcd' to produce a mosaic plot when two or more categorical variables are plotted. o code simplified; function latticistParse() defunct.
