Better rstudio integration for extract_areas function

[abresler]

Hopefully from the rstudio team can help with this.

What issues are you encountering?

[abresler]

Really difficult to see and use the highlighter

[leeper]

The cursor appears to be the same across graphics devices and is defined quite deeply inside the R source. I'm not sure there's going to be away to get around this.

[abresler]

Will see if I can find the right rstudio dev maybe JJ Allaire?

[leeper]

The answer may be to create a Shiny app. plotOutput() offers a "brush" (drag) method for highlighting an area of a plot. That will probably work better than the current approach and possibly resolve platform-specific errors mentioned here.

[leeper]

Another approach is graphics events, apparently, but I think this will require cairoDevice to work on Mac.

Hey @abresler, I just added a little shiny widget thing as a hopefully better interface for when you're working within RStudio. Let me know if you have any reactions/suggestions.

You ROCK cannot wait to play with this!!

I think I'm going to consider this closed, but I'll gladly reopen if any weird behavior emerges.
