In hrbrmstr/taucharts: Create Interactive Charts with the JavaScript 'TauCharts' Library

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>",
  fig.path = "README-"
)

taucharts is an R htmlwidget interface to the TauCharts javascript library

Take a look at the TODO list and chip in!

Right now, you can make & customize (including manual color scales & ordered factors + legends + tooltips + trendlines):

• scatterplots
• scatterplot matrices
• line charts
• bar charts (veritical, horizontal & stacked)

Composite plots are on the road map for support but not in the R package yet.

Have a look on RPubs to see what taucharts can do!
