[R] Possible R graphics devices

2008-09-04 Thread Jeffrey Horner

Hello all,

I've been working on a new R Graphics device that targets Adobe's 
Shockwave Flash format (SWF for short). It uses http://www.libming.org/ 
on the backend. Here are some example outputs so far:


http://160.129.129.41/~hornerj/plots/

Once you click on the above, choose a directory like 'smooth' and then 
click on test.html to see a side-by-side comparison of the swf file with 
the png equivalent. Fonts aren't working yet (but they will), and 
libming doesn't support dashed lines either, so there are some areas 
upon which to improve.


My goal is to support limited interactivity in the form of popup labels 
for key data points. Maybe someone has some other ideas?


Also, there's a fascinating new project that aims to create interactive 
graphics within the HTML canvas tag using the Processing.js javascript 
library. It's quite eye-opening:

I believe an R graphics device could target javascript as well!

Thoughts?

I think being able to say lable your points with a third column of
data would be cool (which I am sure is already do-able), and also to
be able to hover over a point and find out the value.  On a huge
wishlist that I don't have a clue how to implement- a zoom window
function close to kaliedagraphs would make me very happy.
