Hi, canvas is a new R package implementing a graphics device that emits javascript code conforming to the HTML 5 CanvasRenderingContext2D interface. Available on CRAN soon, but you can get it here immediately: http://www.rforge.net/canvas If you have access to a beta web browser like Firefox 3.1 or later, you can see example plots here: http://www.rforge.net/canvas/plots/index.html Clicking on one of the plots will take you to a comparator page where the plot is rendered twice, once with the canvas package and once with the png(type='cairo') function. The implementation is almost complete, however there are some parts that need work like font metrics and dotted/dashed lines. If anyone is interested in helping flesh out the remaining bits, I'd be much obliged. Best, Jeff
