Hi! Is there any way of having a greyed ("ghosted") text (i.e, 2006) in the background of a plot? I'm making a dynamic plot and would like to show the year of each time step as a big greyed text in the background.

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

Byron, I just read your blog (statcomp.blogspot.com, linked from your other post) and rand across your idea of an R/Flash graphics device. I've also been giving this some thought because of this amazing interactive flash app: http://tools.google.com/gapminder and others from http://www.gapminder.org/. I would love more than anything to work on this. The only hitch is that I'm so

Hello R-experts, I am having difficulties with 3D plotting (i.e. the evolution of various forward curves through time). I have two comma seperated files both ordered by date (in the first column) one containing contracts (meaning forward delivery months from YEAR_ & Letter "F" ... January through letter "Z" ... December) and the other holding the closing price of the
