Hi, I want to use R for some data mining project , and was wondering if it has any intercative graphical features? For example, is it possible to plot a histogram and be able to select a specific point on it and have all the data about it? or select a specific area in a curve and have all the data about it? or possibilities to zoom out and in? Thank you for your help, Mama Benchaffai School of Information Technology University of Sydney

I guess R is not the best choice for this kind of applications at this moment (correct me, if I'm wrong). Interacting with graphs is AFAIK limited to the use of locator(). Creating functions, that will provide you with some information (what kind?) about plotted data via locator(), would require considerable work with coding. I've heard, that LispStat is good at this kind of jobs. I don't have any experience with it, thats what "rumours" say. I hope this helps and good luck m. -- Best regards, Michal mailto:bojaniss at poczta.onet.pl

It may well provide at least some of what you want. You can find a paper by Simon and Martin Theus in the DSC proceedings. http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/Conferences/DSC-2003/Drafts/UrbanekTheus.pdf I'm not sure when the release will happen. -- Ross Ihaka Email: ihaka at stat.auckland.ac.nz Department of Statistics Phone: (64-9) 373-7599 x 85054 University of Auckland Fax: (64-9) 373-7018 Private Bag 92019, Auckland New Zealand

Bit I haven't tried that.
