It seems so, as even no one answers.
Please bring rggobi back! This is the only package I know of with the ability to animate and visualize multi-dimensional (more than 3 axes) of data at a time. I can still run demos and analyses for my students with the stand-along GGobi program, but it is really helpful to do the exercises with rggobi since they are learning R and RStudio. So, add my vote for bringing rggobi back to CRAN! If there is another similar package, please post it here. Thank you!
what a mess; just gonna have to use the standalone ggobi
If anyone is interested, one possible way to resurrect it is to use https://r-universe.dev to build the binaries.
Another option is ggobi for R via explorase in bioconductor https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/3.10/bioc/html/explorase.html
edit: this requires rggobi, sry
Sad. Great package. I would be glad to help to resurrect it.
@stla I've installed the r-universe app for this Github org. You can see if you can manage to build the package on r-universe: https://ggobi.r-universe.dev
Hello @yihui
I don't see rggobi
on this page (I see 4 other packages). What should I do to build it ?
Argh, I can't install the Ggobi software on my work laptop, it requires admin rights :-(

That's fine. I installed Ggobi on my private Windows laptop and I transferred the folder to my work laptop. It works.

I don't know. You'll have to figure it out. R-universe only automatically adds CRAN packages. To add other packages, you may have to use packages.json. I'll invite you to this org so you can create a new repo if necessary.
To all users of rggobi
, you may be interested to also see the new tourr
package at http://ggobi.github.io/tourr/ and check out this recent (2021) lecture by Di Cook at https://dicook.github.io/SISBID/slides/2.5-mvplot-tour/index.html#1 and https://dicook.github.io/SISBID/.
@melindahiggins2000 Thanks for the reference. Are you still using the standalone Ggobi program? Not sure whether it's worth investing time in learning it (or whether I could even install it at this point.)
Have we abandoned this package on CRAN?
