tgve: Open static TGVE instance

In tgver: Turing Geovisualization Engine R package

Open static TGVE instance

Description

This is the main and most basic function to run an instance of TGVE without back-end. Compared to tgve_server, this function only uses internal functions to setup an instance then opens the entry HTML file. If a path of an instance is provided it opens it, otherwise creates an instance from a 'tempdir'.

Usage

tgve(
  path = Sys.getenv("TEMP_path_ENV"),
  browse = TRUE,
  remote = FALSE,
  url = "https://tgve.github.io/app/"
)

Arguments

path	character directory of a current instance to browse. Defaults to 'TEMP_PATH_ENV' environment variable.
browse	boolean to decide whether to browse the instance or not.
remote	boolean whether to run a remote instance of TGVE. If TRUE the above 'path' and 'browse' parameters will be ignored. Defaults to 'FALSE'
url	if 'remote' is true, then this will be used as the parameter to pass to internal function 'openURL'. It defaults, for convenience, to 'https://tgve.github.io/app/' instance.

Value

directory of the new instance if 'path' is not provided.

Examples

tgve()
# just get the path of the HTML
p = tgve(browse = FALSE)
file.exists(p)
