I'm pleased to announce the availability of the Immerse package: https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Immerse.jl
Immerse is designed to add a new layer of interactivity to Gadfly plots. I've also posted two tutorial videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urM4SY92QTI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ic5vj9hD-w The second video in particular has "the fun stuff," and shows some features I've long wished for in Julia: really good ways to go backwards from plotted objects to the data underlying each object, so that one can figure out what's going on in a complex, multidimensional data set. It probably goes without saying, but Immerse is so new that you should expect a certain amount of API churn as it evolves. In particular, I've already changed one of the `hit` callback arguments since I filmed that second video this morning :-). However, I personally find that it's already quite functional and darned handy; I encourage you to start making use of it and see whether it makes a difference in your work. Despite my attempts to upload these videos to the JuliaLanguage youtube channel, these seem to be going to my personal channel (which I didn't even have, before now...). If anyone has any tips about how to transfer them, I'd be grateful. Best, --Tim
