R devel - Mar 2007 - SVG and tooltips, hyperlinks

Dear all,

is there a good way to create SVG plots with R whose elements have 
titles (tooltips) or act as hyperlinks?

I am using the RSvgDevice package, which works great - but it doesn't 
seem to support the notion that plot objects have titles or are act as 
hyperlinks, so I am helping myself by giving the objects funny unique 
colors and then postprocessing the .svg file.

I wonder whether somebody has already implemented this in a more elegant 
way.

Best wishes
   Wolfgang

Well, elegance is in the eye of the beholder, but you might want to take
a look at the gridSVG package anyway ...

Tony Plate posted an altered version of RSvgDevice on the finance list a
couple of weeks ago.

It does not do hyperlinks yet, but that should not be too difficult to do.

Cheers,
