My best guess is that the package worked under an earlier version of R but is broken now.  Do any of you use this package for interactive presentation graphics?  Or, what are some good alternative libraries?  I've played around a bit with 'iplots' and RStudio's 'manipulate' library, but those are really geared for exploratory analysis.  I'm looking for something geared toward presentation, for example, on a web page.  A good "hello,world" I want to accomplish would be a time series with 2 or more line graphs that the viewer can choose between with radio buttons or checkboxes.Thanks in advance! The error
