Hi Simon, Yes I agree with you on the definition of IG (selection, data query, ...), but I only meant to respond to Oleg's "R lacks functionality that would allow displaying of interactive plots with two distinct functionalities: zooming and panning." I thought that was just a problem to adjust th

Simon, as promised I attach a simple package that utilises gtkdatabox. It is Linux only, sorry for that: as it was hacked together in the last two hours I did not have time for Windows stuff. Under my Ubuntu I only had to install libgtkdatabox-dev from standard repos (which would pull libgtk2-de

Dear Simon, thanks for comments. I better give a bit of a background first. We are analysing time series of financial data, often multivariate and with say 200K samples. It is quite a frequent situation that one needs to display multivariate time series of say 200K rows and 10 columns over th

I probably missed this discussion, but why not just ASK the device if it is interactive? I can easily imagine a case where a device might be interactive or not depending on how it was started. In fact, I don't have to imagine a case since the Quartz device in R-devel can have exactly this behavior.
