htmlMaker R (and S-Plus) code to generate webpages with plots

This is an R package to generate html code for webpages, especially for batch jobs where R is run in background mode. This is a basic program to get simple webpages with graphs, including simple clickable graphs, it is not a web design tool. You will need to know some html to do anything beyond the simplest webpages. These webpages are static html, no java or javascript is used.

To work under R in interactive mode, R in batch mode, and S-Plus, the package now requires an argument to tell which method to use to produce plots. The sample routines below assume you are running R in interactive mode.

WARNING: Netscape Navigator (6.2 and 7.0) does NOT work correctly with clickable images: (1) it does not process multiple images with maps correctly, (2) it does not display the alt=... text, except on the first graph on a webpage, and (3) it does not follow the href= link. Internet Explorer (5.5 and 6.0) does work correctly.

There is terse documentation included in the source file htmlMaker.R below. Also, see the source files and pages of output generated below.
