+browser.  X:Map uses the Google Maps API to provide a scrollable view of the
+genome.  It supports a number of species, and can be accessed at
+@url{http://xmap.picr.man.ac.uk}.  This package exports plotting files in a
+suitable format.  Graph plotting in R is done using calls to the functions
+@code{xmap.plot} and @code{xmap.points}, which have parameters that aim to be
+similar to those used by the standard plot methods in R.  These result in data
+being written to a set of files (in a specific directory structure) that
+contain the data to be displayed, as well as some additional meta-data
+describing each of the graphs.")
