In vchartr: Interactive Charts with the 'JavaScript' 'VChart' Library

Shiny bindings for vchart

Description

Output and render functions for using vchart() within Shiny applications and interactive Rmd documents.

Usage

vchartOutput(outputId, width = "100%", height = "400px")

renderVchart(expr, env = parent.frame(), quoted = FALSE)

Arguments

outputId	output variable to read from
width, height	Must be a valid CSS unit (like "100%", "400px", "auto") or a number, which will be coerced to a string and have "px" appended.
expr	An expression that generates an HTML widget (or a promise of an HTML widget).
env	The environment in which to evaluate expr.
quoted	Is expr a quoted expression (with quote())? This is useful if you want to save an expression in a variable.

Value

An output or render function that enables the use of the widget within Shiny applications.
