Vignette explaining different kinds of graphs?

[ewallace]

Some of our users may want to be able to make bar-and-stem graphs of qPCR data. We should have a vignette explaining how to do that, and various alternatives such as dot plots, how to use shape/colour/dodge/etc to make distinctions clearer. All concisely within the framework of a sample qPCR experiment, referring to other resources for more general solutions.

This would be most useful within the framework of a published PCR experiment. Could we ask e.g. David Barrass for data corresponding to a published dataset?

Suggested other resources:

• Beyond Bar and Line Graphs, Weissgerber et al
• Fundamentals of Data Visualization, Wilke

This would be really nice as a separate vignette but is low-priority for now. We will revisit when we come to make teaching materials, as alternate graphs would be very useful in a presentation for new users.
