googleVis (version 0.7.3)

gvisLineChart: Google Line Chart with R googleChartName <- "linechart" gvisChartName <- "gvisLineChart"

Description

The gvisLineChart function reads a data.frame and creates text output referring to the Google Visualisation API, which can be included into a web page, or as a stand-alone page. The actual chart is rendered by the web browser using SVG or VML.

Usage

gvisLineChart(data, xvar = "", yvar = "", options = list(), chartid)

Value

paste(gvisChartName) returns list of class

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

Arguments

data

a data.frame to be displayed as a line chart

xvar

name of the character column which contains the category labels for the x-axes.

yvar

a vector of column names of the numerical variables to be plotted. Each column is displayed as a separate line.

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

Examples

## Please note that by default the googleVis plot command
## will open a browser window and requires an internet
## connection to display the visualisation.

df <- data.frame(country=c("US", "GB", "BR"), val1=c(1,3,4), val2=c(23,12,32))

## Line chart
Line1 <- gvisLineChart(df, xvar="country", yvar=c("val1", "val2"))
plot(Line1)


## Add a customised title and smoothed curve
Line2 <- gvisLineChart(df, xvar="country", yvar=c("val1", "val2"),
             options=list(title="Hello World",
                          titleTextStyle="{color:'red',fontName:'Courier',fontSize:16}",
                          curveType='function'))
plot(Line2)

if (FALSE) {
## Change y-axis to percentages
Line3 <- gvisLineChart(df, xvar="country", yvar=c("val1", "val2"),
                       options=list(vAxis="{format:'#,###%'}"))
plot(Line3)

}

## Create a chart with two y-axis:
Line4 <-  gvisLineChart(df, "country", c("val1","val2"),
                        options=list(series="[{targetAxisIndex: 0},
                                              {targetAxisIndex:1}]",
                          vAxes="[{title:'val1'}, {title:'val2'}]"
                          ))
plot(Line4)

## Line chart with edit button
Line5 <- gvisLineChart(df, xvar="country", yvar=c("val1", "val2"),
                       options=list(gvis.editor="Edit me!"))
plot(Line5)

## Customizing lines 
Dashed <-  gvisLineChart(df, xvar="country", yvar=c("val1","val2"),
             options=list(
             series="[{color:'green', targetAxisIndex: 0, 
                       lineWidth: 1, lineDashStyle: [2, 2, 20, 2, 20, 2]}, 
                      {color: 'blue',targetAxisIndex: 1, 
                       lineWidth: 2, lineDashStyle: [4, 1]}]",
                       vAxes="[{title:'val1'}, {title:'val2'}]"
                       ))
plot(Dashed)
