Xpose 4.0

From: Justin Wilkins justin.wilkins@farmbio.uu.se Subject: [NMusers] Xpose 4.0 Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 18:24:39 +0200 Hi all, Development of the next release of Xpose, version 4, has been quietly going on for some time now, and I'm pleased to announce that the second preview release - codenamed "Easter Bunny" -- is now available from http://xpose.sourceforge.net/. Xpose 4.0 is a ground-floor rewrite of Xpose 3.104, with the biggest change being the switch from S-PLUS to R ( http://www.r-project.org). Others include the adoption of a much more object-oriented approach, allowing Xpose to be used directly from the R console, and much wider customization options, which provide the flexibility needed to create publication-quality graphics. Also, the newly-opened architecture has made it much easier to use Xpose from within other applications. Most of the original features of Xpose are now available for testing, along with the traditional menu system, with the rest to follow soon. Some early installation glitches have been fixed, and source code has been made available as usual. This is a preview release, so bugs are expected - but reports of these, and feature suggestions, are very welcome. You will need R version 2.2.0 or better, with the add-on package Hmisc installed, to use Xpose 4.0 PR2. Xpose is a team effort, supervised by Niclas Jonsson and Mats Karlsson, with frontline support and coding being provided by myself and Andrew Hooker.
