Anyone know of a good library that can be used to generate embeddable  
interactive plots? I’m hoping to embed the plot within a wxRuby GUI and  
allow users to interact with the plot using the mouse (coordinate  
querying, zooming, basic drawing tools like lines and circles…). I’m  
thinking something similar to JFreeCharts but for Ruby, that’s  
compatible with both Windows and OS X.

I’m about to start working on a new project that relies heavily on  
interactive charts. If I can’t find a Ruby library I’m going to have to  
go with C# or Java and I’d really prefer not to!

Thanks for the help,
