Interactive graph demonstration using a modified version of B. Rowlingson's imagemap package:

As you drag your mouse over the map, data from the 1977 US census data (a dataset that comes with R) will appear. When you click on a state, a graph will be created that shows rankings for that state.

par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))
m = map("state", fill=T, col=0)
    
# make the image map boundaries
marker = which(is.na(m$x))
startidx = c(1, marker + 1)
endidx = c(marker - 1, length(m$x))
for (i in seq(along = m$names))
  addRegion(im) = imPoly(cbind(m$x[startidx[i]:endidx[i]], 
                         m$y[startidx[i]:endidx[i]]),
