Now I install R 2.14.1 and I get:

 

packages 'qtbase', 'qtpaint' are not available (for R version 2.14.1)

 

Are you saying that the windows binaries are not available for *any* version
of R?

Hi Kevin,

 

I haven't watched through the video yet, but I guess It's not ggplot2, just
like David pointed out, it's actually using a different graphic engine,
implemented in packages qtbase/qtpaint, which are hosted on Biocondcutor, to
install them, please run

 
 
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
    biocLite(c("qtbase", "qtpaint"))


Another project in development you probably are interested in trying for
same kind of qt-based interactive graphics called cranvas

and there is a section where Hadley Wickham showed demonstrated a county map
of the US that was interactive.  This is exactly what I would like. I have
downloaded ggplot2 but still failed to find out how to even read in and plot
something like a US map let alone add the kind of interactivity that was
shown in this demo. Anyone else succeed at interacting with a plot of the US
like this?
