[R] interactive labeling/highlighting on multiple xy scatter plots

[Shi, Tao]

Thank you very much, Greg and Ramnath, for the pointers!  I'll explore more.

There are plugins for rCharts that help you create custom charts.

Here is a scatterplot matrix example

It doesn't support brushing, but I think it won't be hard adding that behavior if you contact its author.

Hope this helps.

Best,
Ramnath

It would be nice if I mouse over one point on one scatter plot, the label of the analyte on that scatter plot AS WELL AS on all other scatter plots will be automatically shown.  I know brushing in rggobi does this, but its interface is not good and it needs R or ggobi to run (I want send the results to the collaborators and let them to play with it without the need of installing R or ggobi on their machine).  rCharts is nice but so far it can only create one scatter plot at a time.
