renderLineChart: Render the Line Chart Plotted by ECharts into Shiny Application

Description

renderLineChart() function helps render the line chart into Shiny application.

Usage

renderLineChart(div_id, data, theme = "default",
                line.width = 2, line.type = "solid",
                point.size = 5, point.type = "emptyCircle",
                stack_plot = FALSE, step = "null",
                show.legend = TRUE, show.tools = TRUE,
                font.size.legend= 12,
                font.size.axis.x = 12, font.size.axis.y = 12,
                axis.x.name = NULL, axis.y.name = NULL,
                rotate.axis.x = 0, rotate.axis.y = 0,
                show.slider.axis.x = FALSE, show.slider.axis.y = FALSE,
                animation = TRUE,
                grid_left = "3%", grid_right = "4%", grid_top = "16%", grid_bottom = "3%",
                running_in_shiny = TRUE)

Arguments

div_id

The division id users specified for this chart. The division will be specified in ui.R.

data

The data used for the plotting. It should be a data.frame. Each column of the data.frame is one category, and each row is one observation (like one timepoint).

theme

Which ECharts theme to use. Valid values include "default", "roma", "infographic", "macarons", "vintage", "shine", "caravan", "dark-digerati", "jazz", and "london".

line.width

This is to help set the width of the lines.

The value should be either numeric or integer. The default value is 2.

Its length should be either one or the same as the number of categories in the data (the number of columns in the data).

line.type

The type of the lines.

The value can be "solid", "dashed", or "dotted". The default value is "solid".

Its length should be either one or the same as the number of categories in the data (the number of columns in the data).

point.size

This argument helps set the size of points in the scatter plots.

The value should be either numeric or integer. The default value is 5.

Its length should be either one or the same as the number of categories in the data (the number of columns in the data).

point.type

The shape of the points in scatter plots.

Valid values include 'emptyCircle', 'circle', 'rect', 'roundRect', 'triangle', 'diamond', 'pin', 'arrow'. The default value is 'emptyCircle'.

Its length should be either one or the same as the number of categories in the data (the number of columns in the data).

stack_plot

Whether do stack line chart. The default value is FALSE.

step

This argument helps plot step line charts. The default value is "null", i.e., non-step line chart.

If users want step line chart, they can choose "start", "middle", or "end" to determine the turning point positions in the step line charts.

show.legend

If display the legends. The default value is TRUE.

show.tools

If display the tool bar. The default value is TRUE.

font.size.legend

The font size of legend bar. The default value is 12.

font.size.axis.x

The font size of the labels on X axis. The default value is 12.

font.size.axis.y

The font size of the labels on Y axis. The default value is 12.

axis.x.name

The name of X axis. The default value is NULL.

axis.y.name

The name of Y axis. The default value is NULL.

rotate.axis.x

The rotation degree of labels on X axis. The default value is 0.

rotate.axis.y

The rotation degree of labels on Y axis. The default value is 0.

show.slider.axis.x

Whether display slider on X axis. The default value is FALSE.

show.slider.axis.y

Whether display slider on Y axis. The default value is FALSE.

animation

Whether display the chart with animation. The default value is TRUE.

grid_left

Distance between grid component and the left side of the container. Default value is "3%".

grid_right

Distance between grid component and the right side of the container. Default value is "4%".

grid_top

Distance between grid component and the top side of the container. Default value is "16%".

grid_bottom

Distance between grid component and the bottom side of the container. Default value is "3%".

running_in_shiny

If we're actually running this in a Shiny library, or we're simply doing testing. Default valus is "TRUE". If "FALSE", the function will print what it's supposed to evaluate.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
if (interactive()) {
  library(shiny)
  library(ECharts2Shiny)


  dat <- data.frame(c(1, 2, 3, 1),
                      c(2, 4, 6, 6),
                      c(3, 2, 7, 5))
  names(dat) <- c("Type-A", "Type-B", "Type-C")
  row.names(dat) <- c("Time-1", "Time-2", "Time-3", "Time-4")

  # Server function -------------------------------------------
  server <- function(input, output) {
    renderLineChart(div_id = "test",
                    data = dat)
  }

  # UI layout -------------------------------------------------
  ui <- fluidPage(
    # We MUST load the ECharts javascript library in advance
    loadEChartsLibrary(),

    tags$div(id="test", style="width:50%;height:400px;"),
    deliverChart(div_id = "test")
  )

  # Run the application --------------------------------------
  shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
}
# }
