The googleVis package provides an interface between R and the [Google's charts tools](https://developers.google.com/chart/). 
It allows users to create web pages with interactive charts based on R data frames. Charts are displayed locally via the R HTTP help server. 
A modern browser with Internet connection is required. The data remains local and is not uploaded to 
Google.

Check out the [examples](https://mages.github.io/googleVis/articles/googleVis_examples.html) from the googleVis demo.   

Please read [Google's Terms of Use](https://developers.google.com/terms/) before you start using the package.
