Summary Plots
R comes with several functions for creating plots to summarize data, including
hist, barplot, boxplot,
dotchart, stripchart, and numerous others.
The help file Plotting Probability Distributions
lists several EnvStats functions useful for producing summary plots as well.
In addition, the EnvStats function stripChart is a modification
of stripchart that allows you to include summary statistics
on the plot itself.
