mjs_plot: Create a new metricsgraphics.js plot

In metricsgraphics: Create Interactive Charts with the JavaScript 'MetricsGraphics' Library

Description

mjs_plot() initializes the metricsgraphics.js html widget and takes a data frame & (bare or quoted) x & y column names as minimum input. This must be piped to a "geom" (metricsgraphics.js only supports single "geom" layers) and can also be piped to other mjs_ functions that manipulate aesthetics.

Usage

mjs_plot(data, x, y, show_rollover_text = TRUE, linked = FALSE,
  decimals = 2, format = "count", missing_is_hidden = FALSE, left = 80,
  right = 10, top = 40, bottom = 60, buffer = 8, width = NULL,
  height = NULL, title = NULL, description = NULL)

Arguments

data	data frame
x	bare or quoted name of column to use for x values
y	bare or quoted name of column to use for y values
show_rollover_text	determines whether or not to show any text when a data point is rolled over.
linked	inks together all other graphs whose linked option is set to true. When one graphic in that set is rolled over, the corresponding values in the other graphics are also rolled over (default: FALSE - not linked)
decimals	the number of decimals to show in a rollover (default: 2)
format	sets the format of the data object, which is to say, counts or percentages
missing_is_hidden	if true and if the data object is a time series, missing data points will be treated as zeros
left	the size of the left margin in pixels.
right	the size of the right margin in pixels.
top	the size of the top margin in pixels.
bottom	the size of the bottom margin in pixels.
buffer	the buffer size in pixels between the actual chart area and the margins.
width	Width in pixels (optional, defaults to automatic sizing)
height	Height in pixels (optional, defaults to automatic sizing)
title	plot title
description	plot description

Details

See MetricsGraphics.js for more information.

Value

metricsgraphics object

Note

Plot title and description work best when the widget is in a Bootstrap template. They also increase the overall plot area (height, mostly) since they add <div>s. The description will be visible in the upper left area (on ? hover) if not displayed in a Boostrap template.

Examples

data.frame(year=seq(1790, 1970, 10),
           uspop=as.numeric(uspop)) %>%
  mjs_plot(x=year, y=uspop) %>%
  mjs_line()

# accessor params can also be quoted

data.frame(year=seq(1790, 1970, 10),
           uspop=as.numeric(uspop)) %>%
  mjs_plot(x="year", y="uspop") %>%
  mjs_line()
