Statistics 5931 (Geyer, Fall 2003) Rggobi

The Rggobi is a library for dynamic graphics. It comes from

http://www.ggobi.org

It is very hard to install correctly under unix, and I suppose even harder to install under Microsoft Windows or Macintosh OS X. I did manage to install it on the School of Statistics Linux workstations. But even there, you have to do some unix magic to make it work.

In unix (before starting R) do

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/APPS/ggobi/lib

Then do

R
Then do (now in R)
library(Rggobi)
data(mtcars)
ggobi(mtcars)

To see what to do you have to read the manuals, which locally are in /APPS/ggobi/Docs and /APPS/ggobi/Rggobi/inst/Docs (the former has more useful stuff).

As an example, try 2D Tour on the ViewMode menu.
