Browsing the web recently, I came across what I think is a new utility for generating an interactive, web-based R graph of data from a database. The generated graph can be manipulated by a user to choose different data, limits, etc. I would like to investigate using this with data from our research project but unfortunately, I didn't bookmark it and it's no longer in my browser history, nor can I find it with extensive Google searches. Can anybody help with the name of the software, its URL, or suggestions of where else to search, please? Thanks!

Hi David, I suggest you to have a look at packages that can extract data from sql or nosql databases and graphics. CRAN task views would help: http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Graphics.html The point is there are lots of alternatives. If you would like to use web-based visualisation d3 is becoming very popular. For that reason I suggest the combination of ggplot2, D3 (http://d3js.org/) and extracting data from databases using RODBC or RMySQL, depending on your data source. A good web server interface is Rook, Hope it helps, Best, -m On 26 December 2012 13:34, David Osborne <daosborne at gmail.com> wrote:> Browsing the web recently, I came across what I think is a new utility for > generating an interactive, web-based R graph of data from a database.
