The new version updates the package for the new features of the Google Visualisation API and brings an new in-page editor option.
Here is a simple example, displaying the participants of the R user Conference 2011 in Warwick by Country. Notice the ‘Edit me’ button in the top left corner of the chart, which allows you to change and customise the graph.
