I saw a demo of a package for Rapid and Pretty Things in R earlier in the year when it was a work in progress. It is now live on GitHub (but not yet CRAN). It allows you to very quickly visualise data in R using a Shiny GUI to generate ggplot2 underneath. A nice app for some visual analytics.
devtools::install_github('cargomoose/raptR')
raptR::raptR()
