Missing Vignettes for reshape2

[Rich Shepard]

   Running 2.15.0 on Slackware-13.1 with all packages in /usr/lib/R/library.
Package reshape2 is in the library but there are no vignettes seen by R. If
this is the result of something I did incorrectly, please point out how to
install the vignettes with the package.

   I can get help for melt and cast but no reference on how to access the
vignettes.

Pointer appreciated,

Rich

What makes you think reshape2 has a vignette? I don't see one on CRAN:
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/reshape2/index.html

Michael,

   I don't find one there, either. But, I thought that last autumn I read one
or two about the package. It was probably another package, not reshape2.

   Regardless, taking time to cogitate over a couple of mugs of coffee this
afternoon allowed me to resolve my uncertainties about wide and long data
formats. This is why I sought reshape2 vignettes, to work out for myself the
differences in formats.

   Now that I grok the two I don't need to look for reshape2 vignettes to
explain them.

Thanks very much,

Rich

You might have been thinking of Hadley's webpage for reshape2:
http://had.co.nz/reshape/ or the JSS article:
http://www.jstatsoft.org/v21/i12

Hope this helps,
Michael
