Multivariate, interactive visualization in R

Abstract

This thesis introduces two programs called "Spin & Brush" and "Multivariate Graphics", the purpose of which is the visualization of multivariate data. Since the programs are included in an R package called mvgraph, the thesis also deals with the issue of building R packages which interface C/C++ code. To make the installation of mvgraph as easy as possible, there is a section about it at the end of the thesis.
