In glyph: A Grammar of Interactive Graphics
interactivity R Documentation
Interactivity
Description
Tooltips, hover effects, clicks, zoom, brushing and linked
selections are part of the plot specification. They are declared with
interact() and selection() in the same pipeline as the marks, stored
in the spec, and run in the browser by the D3 renderer.
Details
Design philosophy: interactions are selections that filter or highlight
marks. This follows Vega-Lite's insight that most interactions are really
about defining subsets of the data. A tooltip is "select the nearest point,
show its values." Brushing is "select points in a rectangle, highlight them."
