Last week, I posted some boxplots of Olympic athletes’ ages by sport, which I then updated using ggplot2 to look nicer.  I had a few requests for the code that I used to generate these plots, so I posted my code here.

Isomorphismes has suggested (politely) some improvements to my code in this post, “Outer Product of Character Vectors in R”, on R-bloggers.com.  I’ve been reluctant to post my code in the past as I don’t consider myself to a very good coder, but I need to get over this.  There is too much to be gained by putting my code out there and having it critiqued by others who have more experience with coding than I do, as opposed to just keeping my crappy code to myself.

Cheers.
