ggWebGL: Browser-Native 'WebGL' Rendering for R Graphics
Provides browser-native 'WebGL' rendering for R graphics through
'htmlwidgets'. The package supports grammar-style graphics workflows and
renderer-ready specifications for dense analytical and scientific scenes,
including point, line, trajectory, raster, vector, mesh, and surface
layers, shader-driven display modes, timeline controls, structured views,
selection metadata, and publication-oriented static export helpers.
Rendering stays in the browser, and the core package remains
cross-platform without requiring 'CUDA', 'Metal', or 'OpenCL' toolchains.
