experiments with d3 and r integration with shiny
Using the fine example offered by https://github.com/trestletech and http://www.trestletechnology.net/2012/12/reconstruct-gene-networks/, build a d3 bar plot of annual performance data for the S&P 500 and the Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. Start with a local .csv file similar to the original example but eventually add on the ability to use live data from the web or from Axys.
I do not have the ability to host on http://glimmer.rstudio.com for a web example. Until I get that, you can download the files, and then in R:
require(shiny)
runApp("C:\path-to-download-location\shiny-d3-plot")
Unfortunately, my javascript and d3 abilities are weak, so hopefully those knowledgeable in those areas can build something way better than this simple example.
