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

[Greg Snow]

Another option that is in developement, but may do what you want is
ggvis (http://ggvis.rstudio.com/).  I have seen an example of brushing
created with ggvis that can then be embedded in a web page.  I am not
sure if you can send the html and support files directly to someone
without R (probably Rstudio) or if you need to upload it to a server
for others to see, but the later is still an option for collaborators
who do not have R installed.

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.
