Title: Rbokeh: An R Interface to the Bokeh Plotting Library
Author(s): Ryan Hafen*
Companies: Hafen Consulting
Keywords: visualization ; interactive
Abstract:

Bokeh is an interactive visualization library that targets modern web browsers for presentation. Its goal is to provide elegant, concise construction of novel interactive graphics. The rbokeh package is an R interface that translates commands in R to a visualization specification that is rendered by the BokehJS client library. The R interface is designed to be simple but flexible, allowing the expressiveness required for rapid generation of ad hoc statistical plots, while providing simple yet useful interactive capabilities such as zoom/pan and tooltips with nearly no additional effort. In this talk I will introduce rbokeh and discuss its design, show examples, and discuss future efforts for adding more interactivity into the package.


Authors who are presenting talks have a * after their name.
