Package: ggWebGL 0.8.0

ggWebGL: Browser-Native 'WebGL' Rendering for R Graphics

Provides browser-native 'WebGL' rendering for R graphics through 'htmlwidgets'. The package supports grammar-style graphics workflows and renderer-ready specifications for dense analytical and scientific scenes, including point, line, trajectory, raster, vector, mesh, and surface layers, shader-driven display modes, timeline controls, structured views, selection metadata, and publication-oriented static export helpers. Rendering stays in the browser, and the core package remains cross-platform without requiring 'CUDA', 'Metal', or 'OpenCL' toolchains.
