gvisAnnotationChart: Google Annotation Chart with R googleChartName <- "annotationchart" gvisChartName <- "gvisAnnotationChart"

Description

gvisAnnotationChart charts are interactive time series line charts that support annotations. Unlike the gvisAnnotatedTimeLine, which uses Flash, annotation charts are SVG/VML and should be preferred whenever possible.

Usage

gvisAnnotationChart(
  data,
  datevar = "",
  numvar = "",
  idvar = "",
  titlevar = "",
  annotationvar = "",
  date.format = "%Y/%m/%d",
  options = list(),
  chartid
)

Value

paste(gvisChartName) returns list of class

paste(readLines(file.path(".", "inst", "mansections", "gvisOutputStructure.txt")))

Arguments

data

a data.frame. The data has to have at least two columns, one with date information (datevar) and one numerical variable.

datevar

column name of data which shows the date dimension. The information has to be of class Date or POSIX* time series.

numvar

column name of data which shows the values to be displayed against datevar. The information has to be numeric.

idvar

column name of data which identifies different groups of the data. The information has to be of class character or factor.

titlevar

column name of data which shows the title of the annotations. The information has to be of class character or factor. Missing information can be set to NA. See section 'Details' for more details.

annotationvar

column name of data which shows the annotation text. The information has to be of class character or factor. Missing information can be set to NA. See section 'Details' for more details.

date.format

if datevar is of class Date then this argument specifies how the dates are reformatted to be used by JavaScript.

options

list of configuration options, see:

gsub("CHARTNAME", googleChartName, readLines(file.path(".", "inst", "mansections", "GoogleChartToolsURLConfigOptions.txt")))

paste(readLines(file.path(".", "inst", "mansections", "gvisOptions.txt")))

chartid

character. If missing (default) a random chart id will be generated based on chart type and tempfile.
