googleVis

The googleVis package provides an interface between R and the Google Chart Tools API.

It allows users to create web pages with interactive charts based on R data frames, using the Google Chart Tools and to display them either via the local R HTTP help server or within their own sites, without uploading the data to Google. A modern browser with Internet connection is required and for some charts Flash.

Please visit the project web site for more information and examples and read the Google API Terms of Use before you use the package.
