00README.txt  for oclug111006.zip

The files in this zipped directory are used to provide demonstrations in the
OCLUG (Ottawa Canada Linux Users Group) talk by John Nash on Oct 6, 2011.
(I have used zip rather than tar.gz to make the content more accessible to
those unfortunate enough to be using non-Linux systems.)

The talk in odp and ppt form is oclug111006.xxx. That is
		oclug111006.odp  or  oclug111006.ppt

The script weaver.sh (meant to be run by a *nix shell such as bash) will
present the "reproducible research" ideas Sweave and odfWeave. This script
uses the files

	weaver.sh  -- the script. Note that it uses LibreOffice. A command to 
                      launch OpenOffice could be substituted at the appropriate
                      lines in the script. The document viewer evince is also
                      used, but xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) would 
		      also work.

	curr1103.txt
	curr1109.txt   These files provide the ending date for a variable report
	curr.txt

	catseay.csv    Stock closing price data used by these examples.

	MyReport.odt   A source file for odfWeave (LibreOffice, OpenOffice)

	myreport.Rnw   A source file for Sweave

	tmplot.R       An R script -- I use
			source("tmplot.R", echo=FALSE)
                       rather than put this code in the odt or Rnw source files.

	runoweave.R    An R script to run odfWeave -- just to save typing.

        The script generates some output files, namely,

	myreport.pdf    from Sweave. As appropriate, this is copied to 
			   myreport1103.pdf  and   myreport1109.pdf
	        
	MyOut.odt       from odfWeave. As appropriate, this is copied to 
			   MyOut03.odt  and   MyOut09.odt

        There are also some temporary files generated (which can/should be 
        removed:
		Rplots.pdf
		myreport-myreport1.pdf		
		myreport.tex
		myreport.aux
		myreport.dvi

        The Society for Promotion of Math Anxiety example has several demo files:

		111006oclug.xls
		rail1p.R
		rail1r.R
		railss.R

	Static 3D graphics are illustrated by 
		volcano11.R
  	while an animation is given by
		rglnm.R

	The file stembox.txt is a 1986 vintage discussion of simple exploratory 
	data analysis tools.
