playwith is an add-on package for R. It provides a graphical user interface for viewing and interacting with R plots. It tries to work out the structure of a plot, in order to interact with it. The built-in features include: navigating the data space, identifying data points, editing and annotating the plot, and saving to a file. New tools can be defined. This package is based on RGtk2, and so requires the GTK+ libraries.

playwith is maintained by Felix Andrews <felix@nfrac.org>
