Dear R-help,
I am looking for ideas and presentations of new and advanced data visualization
methods. As an example of what I am searching for, the 'Many Eyes' pages
at
http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/
may provide a good paradigm. I would be interested even if it will not be easy
to implement such examples in R, e.g. because of the interactive nature of these
graphical displays.
Please answer to my e-mail address. In case enough interesting material comes
up, I will enter a summary here.

There might be things appearing that you do not regard as of first interest that might be of interest to others. Therefore, the all parts of the discussion or responses should be public as well. The response of David Winsemius pointing at (among other things) at the presentation of Rosling at TED is in my eyes a very good start. In other words, I therefore suggest that the list ignores the last paragraph in the question from you.> > Hans Werner Borchers > ABB Corporate ResearchTom

What I should have said / intended to say was something like "You can _also_ answer to my e-mail address...". I feel sorry that this misstatement caused a distraction from my request. Coming back to the original question: We all know the many pages about R graphics and its numerous features and skills. Therefore, I am more interested in data visualizations not yet implemented or made available in R. I am also wondering if the "R Wiki" would be a better place to publish summaries on topics discussed here. On the mailing list, summaries are forgotten within one or two months time, only to be retrieved in specific searches. Comments on any of the issues mentioned are welcome. Hans Werner

When I clicked on the "Install Missing Plugins" button, the result was No suitable plugins found Unknown Plugin (text/svg+xml) Any suggestions for further progress?

Hi, I find this interesting: http://blog.thejit.org/javascript-information-visualization-toolkit-jit/ It would be nice to have R exporting graphs into these kind of things. Vitalie.
