R/qtlcharts: Interactive Graphics for Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping

Every data visualization can be improved with some level of interactivity. Interactive graphics hold particular promise for the exploration of high-dimensional data. R/qtlcharts is an R package to create interactive graphics for experiments to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) (genetic loci that influence quantitative traits). R/qtlcharts serves as a companion to the R/qtl package, providing in...

Raster Images in R Graphics

Figure 1: A typical statistical plot that is welldescribed by vector elements: polygons, rectangles, lines, and text. However, some displays of data are inherently raster . In other words, what is drawn is simply an array of values, where each value is visualized as a square or rectangular region of colour (see Figure 2). It is possible to draw such raster elements using vector primitives—a sma...

Teaching Computer Graphics In Brazil

We present in this panel a collection of views and experiences about computer graphics teaching and education in Brazil. We hope this discussion will further development of guidelines and teaching materials for computer graphics curricula and courses.

High Interaction Graphics for R

This paper describes the integration of interactive statistical graphics within R using state-of-the art R-connectivity. The iPlots project uses SJava to deliver interactive plots for R and an associated framework for their customization. The graphical part of iPlots is implemented in Java. The design is discussed and some practical examples of iPlots are illustrated.
