Creating interactive pplets from R Output
I am currently generating statistical analysis results (eg a 3D plot) and then "manually" moving it to processing - a graphical programming language) where I can (with some simple coding) export an interactive Java applet (eg let a human view plot to move, exit and around data points). Can I keep this whole process inside R? Specifically, I want to create an applet (doesn't have to be Java, but it needs to be web embeddable, interactive (not movie), and doesn't require the user to work in R or download stuff) that can be piped to. Thank.

Your requirements are not fully understood: can you make sure the user will have R installed (for example, you can run a script on your desktops to install everything first)? Should it work over the Internet?
- The animation package ( http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/animation/ ) is not interactive, but it can create moving images.
- The iplots package is useful, although it requires R: http://rosuda.org/iPlots/iplots.html
- Likewise, rggobi is extremely useful for interactive graphics, but also requires R. You can read more at http://www.jstatsoft.org/v30/b07/paper and http://www.ggobi.org/rggobi/ .
- The last example is biplotgui: http://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/biplotgui/
I heard there is a project in development for generating Flash output from R, but I can't find anything about it.

Can I save this whole process in R?
Check out GGobi :
GGobi is an open source visualization program for exploring high-dimensional data. It provides highly dynamic and interactive graphics such as tours as well as familiar graphics such as scatterplot, barchat and parallel plots. The graphs are interactive and related to cleaning and identification.
