kinesis

Overview

A collection of shiny applications that provides graphical user interfaces for the tesselle packages.

This package is currently experimental. This means that it is functional, but interfaces and functionalities may change over time, testing and documentation may be lacking.

Installation

You can install the released version of kinesis from our repository with:

options(repos = c(CRAN = "https://cloud.r-project.org",
                  tesselle = "https://tesselle.r-universe.dev"))

install.packages("kinesis")

And the development version from Codeberg with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_git("https://codeberg.org/tesselle/kinesis")

Usage

## Load the package
library(kinesis)

## Run the app for matrix seriation
run_app("seriation")

| Keyword | Application name | |:------------|:------------------------------| | aoristic | Aoristic Analysis | | ca | Correspondence Analysis | | pca | Principal Components Analysis | | diversity | Diversity Measures | | mcd | Mean Ceramic Date | | scatter | Scatter Plot | | seriation | Matrix Seriation | | source | Compositional Data Analysis | | ternary | Ternary Plot |

Asynchronous backend

## Run app using 3 local daemons
# install.packages("mirai")
obj <- run_app("seriation")
with(mirai::daemons(3), shiny::runApp(obj))

Translation

This package provides translations of the user interface. The preferred language is by default taken from the locale. This can be overridden by setting of the environment variable LANGUAGE (you only need to do this once per session):

Sys.setenv(LANGUAGE = "<language code>")

Languages currently available are English (en) and French (fr).
