Linked Charts using MetricsGraphics

Linked Scatter Plot

Using the built-in mtcars dataset, each row is considered as an observation and each observation is linked across two different scatter plots (plotting different attributes). Using the htmlwidgets package and metricsgraphics package and setting the option linked = TRUE -

(To see the linkage, hover over one of the plots and see the correspoding observation in the other plot get highlighted)

p1 <- mtcars %>% 
      mjs_plot(x=wt, y=qsec, linked=TRUE, width=500, height=500, title="mtcars: qsec~wt") %>% 
      mjs_point() %>% 
      mjs_labs(x="weight", y="1/4 mile time")

p2 <- mtcars %>% 
      mjs_plot(x=hp, y=mpg,  linked=TRUE, width=500, height=500, title="mtcars: mpg~hp") %>% 
      mjs_point() %>% 
      mjs_labs(x="horse power", y="miles/gallon")

mjs_grid(p1, p2, ncol=2)

An alternate solution is to use iplots package. It is Java based and not suitable for viewing in browser. But it is very powerful and can link different types of plots.
