In YaleToolkit: Data Exploration Tools from Yale University

#' Data exploration tools from the Department of Statistics at Yale University
#' 
#' This collection of data exploration tools was developed
#' at Yale University for the graphical exploration of complex
#' multivariate data. The main functions provided are \code{barcode()},
#' \code{gpairs()}, \code{whatis()}, and \code{sparkmat()}, although \code{barcode()}
#' and \code{gpairs()} are now provided by packages of the same names, respectively.
#'
#' The package also includes several data sets.  For more information,
#' please see the help files for \code{nasa} and \code{YaleEnergy}.
#' Please get in touch with us if you note any problems.
