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

[Shi, Tao]

I looked at ggvis briefly before, but didn't notice its brushing capability.  Now you explained.

Thanks, both!

ggvis is an excellent option to do this kind of stuff.

The only limitation currently is that all sorts of interactivity (tooltips, brushing etc.) are done on the server side using Shiny. So you have to upload your HTML to a shiny server for the interactivity to work.

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.
