omegahat/RGraphicsDevice: A framework for developing R graphics devices entirely in R

This package provides a framework that allows one to program an R graphics device entirely within R, i.e. using R functions. The motivation is to allow rapid prototyping of graphics devices for new formats/targets to be done by those not as familiar with the C--evel details of R graphics devices. An example is a Flash graphics device, i.e. that creates graphical output as Flex/ActionScript code. Another is a device that generates JavaScript code that renders on a JavaScript canvas (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial). We can then annotate the output from such devices to make them interactive. See the SVGAnnotation package for an example.
