Overview

About

Maintained by Shane ConwayCRAN page ↗Repository ↗

Uses Protovis to provide web graphics for R (exposes most low-level functions). Package is still under active development and shouldn't be considered stable until version 0.1. Currently uses a web browser to process JavaScript, although future version will process JavaScript directly and return the SVG output. Also does not properly support discrete labels (e.g. with histograms) or statistical functions. See website for more details.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/webvis/webvis_0.0.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "webvis_0.0.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.0.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
