Hi Justin,

It sounds like you might be able to use the 'hyperplot()' function (in the 'caroline' package) for creating an html imagemap around your figure. This is assuming all that you want to do is interactivate a 2-dimensional scatter plot. You'd also lose PDF-pagination but the auto-tabbing of most browsers from each independent hyperplot() call should help you stay organized.

Say you use hyperplot() like so:

----------------------------------------------------------------
library(caroline)

chr1 <- data.frame(pos=1:1000, cov=rnorm(1000,10,1), url=paste('http://my.genome.org/id=',1:1000,sep=''))
hyperplot(x='pos',y='cov', annout=chr1, link='url',
          xlab='position', ylab='coverage')

chr2 <- data.frame(pos=1:1000, cov=rnorm(1000,10,1), url=paste('http://my.genome.org/id=',1:1000,sep=''))
hyperplot(x='pos',y='cov', annout=chr2, link='url',
          xlab='position', ylab='coverage')
#chr3 <-
#...etc...
----------------------------------------------------------------

With this approach you'd have each chromosome on a different tab.

Cheers,

Dave

Sorry I experimented with tikzDevice using \href{}{} but failed.

You can probably try the old image hotspot technique in HTML. I
remember someone did this before in R, but I cannot find the link to
the work now. The key is your need to use the two functions grconvertX
and grconvertY.

For example, say I am plotting some data that is genomic and therefore
maps to a specific locus on the human genome, like a gene.  I was
hoping to have the title of the plot display the gene name, but have
it be a link so that clicking on it would take you to those
coordinates on a public browser, like USCS's genome browser.  So
basically, I was hoping to have text in a plot generated by R function
as a normal html-style link.

It seems I missed the context of this post -- who is "you", and what

I feel the tikzDevice package should be an option for the task.

Howdy,
   I have read that if you put a URL in the text of a plot being saved
into pdf, the result is a functional hyperlink. I am interested in
having text in a plot that is linked to a URL, but I would like the
text to be something other than the URL. Is this possible? Thank you.
