Subject: Re: [R] How to make flowchart in R?
Thanks! My LaTeX knowledge is quite limited, I don't even know which
one of these
http://www.ucc.ie/cgi-bin/uncgi/ctan?term=PSTricks
I should install to get PSTricks working. I have used TeXShop once or
twice on my Mac. So, I maybe prefer plain R solution.

I have a large dataset and I would like to make some kind of flowchart
from this dataset. The idea is to show rowcounts from data subsets:
data1
rows= 100000

males females,
rows=500000 rows=500000
/\

brown hair white hair
rows=25000 rows=25000
Any ideas how this can be done using R?
One approach is using Sweave along with PSTricks, specifically the
pst-tree package.
More information and examples here:
http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=pst-tree/pst-tree
The Indian TUG also has a pretty decent tutorial series on using PSTricks
here:
http://sarovar.org/projects/pstricks/
with Chapter 11 focusing on creating trees:
http://sarovar.org/frs/download.php/1188/chap11.pdf
I use pst-tree (and pst-node) to create subject disposition flow charts
and stratification trees for clinical studies. I create the framework for
the TeX graphic and then use \Sexpr{}'s to fill in the counts,
percentages, other annotation, etc. as required from the data.
HTH,
