A representation of these data that captures both views at the same time is a scatter plot (not a bar chart) with population on one axis and muslim population on the other, on a log-log scale. Maybe I'll find time to make that chart later today (should take 15 minutes with R, but B is nagging me to put together some IKEA furniture ;-)

And the pity... (none / 0)

...of IKEA furniture is that they contain not a single formula!!

Must be a dismal Sunday... ;)

I'd be keen to learn that on R, too. At my current progress, however, it'd take me six hours, not 15 minutes... Still on the R learning curve.

When I was mucking in my fresher year with Fortran (77, no less!), the best way to learn was to study code from other programs, take it apart with a text book, and write the same program yourself from scrap.

I'd certainly appreciate that.

It's a perl script generating imagemagick draw commands. Not very efficient. 98 seconds for an 800x800 png with dual P4 3GHz processors.
