Title: GGobi Meets R: Interactive High-dimensional Data Visualization as Part of a Complete Data Analysis
Author(s): Deborah Swayne*+
Companies: AT&T Labs-Research
Address: Shannon Laboratory, Room B295, Florham Park, NJ, 07932-1004, United States
Keywords: statistical graphics ; visualization software tools
Abstract:

Software with a direct manipulation graphical user interface allows its users to interact with displays of data with a powerful sense of immediacy, querying and manipulating views. However, there are difficulties in using such GUI-driven tools as part of a complete analysis. Such tools are usually completely distinct from the software used for data manipulation and modeling, and this separation creates obstacles. Each piece of software is likely to use a different data format, forcing frequent data conversion operations to keep the tools in sync. Furthermore, the graphics software probably has little or no provision for storing and sharing intermediate results such as symbol and color. This talk will demonstrate one approach to creating a tighter coupling between direct manipulation graphics software and an analysis environment. The Ggobi visualization software has been designed so it can be embedded in other software and controlled using an API (application programming interface).
