This morning I was browsing R-bloggers and found a post too cool not to share. R now has the same notebook feature that has been so popular with python developers. The link below shows one of these notebooks in action. This particular notebook demonstrates code that makes some really nice interactive plots. It would be fun to put these plots to work on atmospheric science data. It will have to go on the long list of TODOs. Happy plotting!

The magic of writing R code in ipython is credited to the rpy2 module. Simple demonstration on how to get started below.
