GCAMdashboard-package: An Interactive Dashboard for Exploring GCAM Scenario Data
In JGCRI/GCAM-dashboard: An Interactive Dashboard for Exploring GCAM Scenario Data
Description
The GCAM Dashboard is a scenario explorer for GCAM. Its purpose is to
provide a way to give users a quick view of the data in a collection
of scenarios. You can get a listing of the scenarios in a data set
and the queries available for each scenario, or available jointly for
a collection of scenarios. You can plot the queries for a single
scenario in a map view or over time, or you can plot the difference in
output values between two scenarios in either of the same two views.
Usage
To run the GCAM Dashboard, from the R command console enter
GCAMdashboard::run().
Uploading Data
The GCAM Dashboard gets its data from the project data files created
by the rgcam package. Add one or
more GCAM scenarios to a project data file using that package. In the
panel at the left of the app's display you will see a widget for
uploading your project file. Select your project file using the file
explorer, and it will be uploaded into the app. The Project Info tab
will show the name of the data file and the scenarios contained in
it. You can also select one or more scenarios to see a list of all of
the queries common to those scenarios.
Plotting Maps
Switch to the Map View tab. The control panel at the left of the
display has widgets for selecting a scenario to plot and a query to
plot. Select the scenario and query you wish to plot, and the map
will be updated. You can also choose to show a difference plot using
the check box. If you do, then a selector for the difference scenario
will appear.
At the bottom of the map there are controls for the display. The
slider bar selects the year to plot. There is also a selector box for
choosing what part of the map to display (global, or several regions
of interest).
Plotting Data Over Time
The Time View tab provides a view of the query variable over time. It
uses the same controls on the left panel to select the scenario and
query to display. As before, you can display either a single scenario
or a difference between two scenarios.
Below the plot you will find controls for additional plot options.
The selector box labeled "Break totals into subcategories by:" allows
you to change the bar plot into a stacked bar plot, with the elements
making up the stack coming from the variable you select. There is
also a check box for filtering the data to certain regions. Selecting
it will cause a list of regions to appear, and you can select the ones
you want to include in the plot. Note, however, that if no regions
are selected, the plot will instead display all regions, the same as
if the filter regions check box were not selected.
