New RCommander with ggplot #rstats

My favorite GUI (or one of them) R Commander has a relatively new plugin called KMGGplot2. Until now Deducer was the only GUI with ggplot features , but the much lighter and more popular R Commander has been a long champion in people wanting to pick up R quickly.

RcmdrPlugin.KMggplot2: Rcmdr Plug-In for Kaplan-Meier Plot and Other Plots by Using the ggplot2 Package

As you can see by the screenshot- it makes ggplot even easier for people (like R  newbies and experienced folks alike)

This package is an R Commander plug-in for Kaplan-Meier plot and other plots by using the ggplot2 package.
