The ggiraph package is both an HTML widget and a ggplot2 extension. There are a bunch of things you can do with it: design hover effects, set hover information, program JavaScript actions to trigger on click, and enable zoom. Changes such as these are mainly conducted under two families of functions: *_*_interactive() and ggiraph(). This recipe is about to introduce the usage of the last two, but once you get used to the stat/geom dynamic on ggplot2, the same logic is applied to ggiraph.
