[R] Examples of advanced data visualization

[Yihui Xie]

Since SVG has a lot of elements, Firefox is still under development to
support different elements in SVG; see:

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/svg/status.html

Currently animations won't work under Firefox 3.0.4, and all the rest
can be viewed using Firefox 3.0.4.

Yihui
