Learning to build interactive plots is not within the scope of this book, but it is likely that you will see (and admire!) them on your data science with R journey, so a few examples are laid out in this topic.

Plotly is an R package designed to allow you to create interactive plots online. It integrates with ggplot2, which we also learned in this chapter, and can be implemented in a number of programming languages as well, including Scala, Python, and Node.js.
