R:Charts 9.0

John Minyo walked us through the interface for creating a wide variety of good looking charts from table data. The examples used financial data, and the variations in graph type and styling options were seemingly limitless.

Most awesome: he demonstrated a chart that appears to scroll real-time data (like the Task Manager "performance" tab), by reiterating the plugin call in a timed loop, as rows were being inserted or deleted from the underlying table.
