shivcode.txt. This file contains shivplot script code for both R and S-PLUS. To prepare an R/S-PLUS session to produce shivplots, either copy the contents of this file into the input console of an instance of R/S-PLUS or read the code in using the source() command (see tutorial.txt). There are several prepackaged plots included as examples. The instructions to produce these plots can be reviewed at any time by calling the shivHelp command.
