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?
