Poster on Prepare menu? #3747

Open rdstern opened 7 years ago

rdstern commented 7 years ago

We currently have 4 posters on File, Describe, Climatic and Procurement.

I suggest that (possibly A2 size) they can also become a useful training resource.

It could be good to add one that is (sort of) on the Prepare menu. If so, then here is what I propose. These could also (perhaps also each become a presentation where each of the 9 pictures become a ppt slide or even a Prezi presentation (if they still work.)

Here is my proposed contents of a poster on Prepare:

0) Top as for the other presentations 1) Example of the main data grid, with explanation that it is a window onto an R-data frame. Show also the right-click information at the top and at the bottom tabs. Also indicate rename/reorder, etc 2) Column and sheet information including variable and value labels. 3) Log windows and script window, with information from a dialogue that showes the possibility of writing to a script window. That's the first row! 4) Transform and manipulate data. Also filtering. 5) Factor columns (Categorical data).
6) Text and Date columns - including manipulations That's the second row 7) Reshape data 8) Keys and Links 9) Manage objects

This looks like a good idea and could be discussed. Any thoughts on a deadline for wanting this?
