Interactive and dynamic graphics
Members of the team met for the second time in 2010, to work on a new interactive graphics canvas for R. The current stage of the project can be found at R-forge: qtinterfaces contains the new canvas, and plumbr contains the new mutable data frame structures which will enable linking between plots.
The goal is to have working examples by the end of summer 2010.

We are pleased to announce that the judges of the Chambers Award have selected the winner of the 2009 competition: Yihui Xie, from the Renmin University of China. Yihui received this year's award for his submission "animation," an R package for using graphical and other animations to communicate the results of statistical simulations.
In addition to the US1000ドル prize, the winner will have his JSM registration paid by the Computing Section and be reimbursed up to US1000ドル for travel and housing at the meeting. As usual, the award will be presented at the Section's business meeting/mixer on Monday evening.
The judges for this year's competition were Torsten Hothorn, Simon Urbanek, and Hadley Wickham. Thanks to the judges for their hard work, dedication, and timeliness in making this year's competition a success.

You might be interested in this rather unusual use of GGobi - to explore and understand dance! Noel Cressie, Ola Ahlqvist, and Hyowon Ban from the Ohio State University have been involved in a collaborative project centred around a William Forsythe modern-dance piece called "One Flat Thing, reproduced. See their contribution, "Statistical counterpoint", and learn more about their work.

We've just posted an updated version of GGobi - version 2.1.8. This version fixes a number of small bugs, particularly with the
DescribeDisplay plugin. If you are on windows, make sure to also update to the latest version of gtk linked from the downloads page. Unfortunately we have been having problems with the mac package, so only linux and windows versions are currently available.
All files are available from http://ggobi.org/downloads
Please us know if you run into any problems.
