orb_interactive: Open or write an interactive plot

In orbis: Interactive and High-Resolution Layered Graphics with Built-in World Maps

Open or write an interactive plot

Description

Builds a self-contained HTML document containing the plot as inline SVG plus a small embedded script. The result works offline, needs no JavaScript library, and supports tooltips, hover highlighting, mouse-wheel zoom, dragging to pan, double-click to reset, and clicking legend keys to show or hide series.

Usage

orb_interactive(
  plot,
  file = NULL,
  width = 820,
  height = 520,
  title = "orbis plot"
)

Arguments

plot	An orb_spec object.
file	Optional output path. If NULL, an object suitable for the RStudio viewer or an R Markdown document is returned instead.
width, height	Size in pixels.
title	Title of the HTML document.

Value

If file is given, the path (invisibly); otherwise an htmltools tag object.

Examples

p <- orb(mtcars, x = wt, y = mpg, colour = cyl) + orb_points()
f <- tempfile(fileext = ".html")
orb_interactive(p, file = f)
file.exists(f)
unlink(f)
