After I finished with the tutorial post d3 <- R with rCharts and slidify and then saw R creates d3/javascript charts in Ipython Style Notebook, a light clicked. I could finally answer the lingering question I have had ever since I saw the NYT 512 Path to the White House brilliantly created by Mike Bostock and Shan Carter with d3.
What would happen if different states had a different number of votes?
I never dreamed that I would be able to answer my own question by live R coding in the browser in an Ipython style notebook. I felt like I needed a screencast to prove it. Here is the short version.
Here is the extended version with director commentary (in type).
Thanks Ramnath Vaidyanathan, Yihui Xie, and Mike Bostock.
