Does R have graphlets?

I've been experimenting some with the graphlets which S-Plus 6.1 has.  Is
there
something similar in R?  I've looked through documentations, and at SJava,
but haven't found it.

(If you don't know what a graphlet is, here's what it appears to be:
a graphlet is a binary file that encodes information about
a graph.  Java uses spgraph.jar to display the graph and allow certain
actions - 
clicking on individual points can bring up a text string or a href, there
can be
active regions, etc.  Basically, it seems like a simple way for us non-Java
folks to get a graph with links up, using S-Plus.)

Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks,  John

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).

best,
