In uRosConf/voronoiTreemap: Voronoi Treemaps with Added Interactivity by Shiny

voronoiTreemap

This is the development place for R-package voronoiTreemap

Created at unconfUROS2018

• A side event to the annual conference The Use of R in Official Statistics
• https://github.com/uRosConf/unconfUROS2018

Idea

• Make it easy to create a plot like this:

knitr::include_graphics("documentation/preisKalei.jpg")

R package

• https://github.com/uRosConf/voronoiTreemap
• important functions:
  • vt_input_from_df ... easy data input as a data frame
  • vt_export_json ... export to json
  • vt_d3 ... create an htmlwidget
  • vt_app ... start a shiny to create a Voronoi treemap

library(voronoiTreemap)
data(ExampleGDP)
knitr::kable(head(ExampleGDP,3))

| h1 | h2 | h3 | color | weight| codes | |:------|:-----|:------|:---------|-------:|:------| | Total | Asia | China | #f58321 | 14.84| CN | | Total | Asia | Japan | #f58321 | 5.91| JP | | Total | Asia | India | #f58321 | 2.83| IN |

Create a first graph

gdp_json <- vt_export_json(vt_input_from_df(ExampleGDP))
vt_d3(gdp_json)

There a couple of settings you can change I

vt_d3(gdp_json,label = FALSE, color_border = "#000000", size_border = "2px", legend = TRUE)

There a couple of settings you can change II

• You can set a seed (in Javascript)!

vt_d3(gdp_json, legend = TRUE, legend_title = "Continents", seed = 1)

A 2nd Example (Canadian Consumer Price Index) I

• Colors can be provided for each cell independently.

data(canada)
canada <- canada[canada$h1=="Canada",]
canada$codes <- canada$h3
canadaH <- vt_export_json(vt_input_from_df(canada,scaleToPerc = FALSE))
vt_d3(canadaH, label=FALSE,width = 400,height = 400)

A 2nd Example (Canadian Consumer Price Index) II

• Colors could be computed according to a numeric variable, e.g. with the scales package.

canada$color <- scales::seq_gradient_pal(low = "#999999",high = "#ffffff")(canada$weight/max(canada$weight))
canadaH <- vt_export_json(vt_input_from_df(canada,scaleToPerc = FALSE))
vt_d3(canadaH, label=FALSE,width = 400,height = 400, color_border = "#000000")
