Hello, All:

What facilities exist for plots and tables of data in the standard MediaWiki software beyond the obvious standards?


The standard MediaWiki tables and graphics capabilities seem to me to be rather clumsy, and I wonder if I'm missing some available extensions?


The standard MediaWiki tables are described in a Wikipedia article on "Help:Table". Wikimedia Foundation projects ask users to upload photos and graphics Wikimedia Commons -- preferably in scalable vector graphics (*.svg) format.


For additions I'm making to Wikimedia projects, I'm adding two things to the Ecdat package, now on R-Forge:


(1) Economics data sets with documentation describing how to produce a *.svg file, which I then upload to Wikimedia Commons and use in Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, Wikiversity, and Wikinews. The description of the contribution refers to Ecdat for details.


(2) Functions to facilitate creating and updating data objects being added.


Are there better ways of producing quality graphics and maybe interfacing R with MediaWiki projects?


      Thanks,
      Spencer Graves
