R help - Feb 2005 - R-Project Plot: Creating browser map tags

Hi,

I have started looking into using R for generating graphs displayed in a web 
browser and it produces really nice graphics. One of the requirements I have 
is to construct HTML map tags over the graphs so that users can click on 
elements of the graph (e.g. bars of a histogram) and either see interesting 
information or navigate to another page.

I see how to produce JPEG images with R that can be readily embedded in an 
HTML page but did not see how to output information to produce maps.

Could anyone tell if this is possible and if so how?

Many thanks -- Jon
