Does R have graphlets?

An extremely crude version is the ROrca package, which provides linked
plots, dynamic graphics, brushing, and extraction of brushed points.

See http://software.biostat.washington.edu/statsoft/orca for links to
a preliminary version.

You need SJava to make it work.

I'm not going to be doing much with it in the next 2 months, but have
a large set of additions for 2003 (assuming a number of things which
may/may not happen).
