How can I programatically set a scatterplot identification label to a specific variable in rggobi

[Jeff Marcus]

I have an R function to build a GGobi instance with several scatterplot displays using the display() function.  By default, the identification label in each display is "Row Label". Say I want it to be variable X instead. Rather then setting this with the identification pulldown menu in each display I'd like to do it from R when I'm building the instance. As an analogy, I can set the interaction mode in each display with imode(). Now I 'm looking to do same for the identification label. 

A related question: one of my scatterplots is a 1-D plot view. By default it is displayed as an ASH (smoothed histogram). I'd prefer it to be displayed as a Textured plot. Again, how can I do this programatically instead of by hand? Thanks.

Jeff,

I don’t think that either of these was made available through API.

cheers,

Thanks for the quick responses. Two followups:

(*) Is there a way of weetting Row Labels? I tried this by setting rownames in the R data frame I passed to ggobi but I have repeated labels so that didn't work. 

(*) If I wanted to access this through GTK API, could you give me a pointer to where to start looking? Do I need to look at source code for scatterplot displays? 

Thanks again.

We have in the past manipulated these using RGtk2 and direct operations on the widgets. It may take some trial and error, as well as familiarity with GTK+, to dig down into the GUI, but it works reliably.
