googleVis-package: Using the Google Chart Tools with R

In jburos/GoogleVis: Interface between R and the Google Chart Tools

Description

The googleVis package provides an interface between R and the Google Chart Tools. It allows users to create web pages with interactive charts based on R data frames, using the Google Chart Tools and to display them either via the local R HTTP help server or within their own sites, without uploading the data to Google.

A modern browser with Internet connection is required and for some charts Flash. Please visit the project web site for more information and examples:
