Methods to print and plot gvis objects

Usage

# S3 method for gvis
print(x, tag=NULL, file = "", ...)
    
# S3 method for gvis
plot(x, tag=NULL,...)

Arguments

x

An object of class gvis, or a HTML file in case of plot.gvis.

tag

Default NULL. Name tag of the objects to be extracted from a gvis object. If tag is missing then the values of getOption("gvis.print.tag"), getOption("gvis.plot.tag") will be used for print.gvis and plot.gvis respectively.

A complete list of available tags is given by the command getOption("gvis.tags").

The default value of gvis.print.tag is "html", which means print.gvis will show a complete web page with the visualisation, while the tag "chart" will present the code for the visualisation chart only. For more information see the details section.

The default tag for plot.gvis.tag is NULL, which will result in R opening a browser window, while any tag which is not NULL will give the same behaviour as print.gvis, e.g. tag='chart' or setting options(gvis.plot.tag='chart') will produce the same output as print(x, tag='chart'). This behaviour is particular helpful when googleVis is used in scripts, like knitr or R.rsp. The plot commands can be used initially in an interactive mode and with one change in options() produce the HTML output required for a programmatic run of the script. See the example section below for a knitr case study.

plot.gvis ignores the argument tag it x is a HTML file name.

file

file name. If "" (the default), output will be printed to the standard output connection, the console unless redirected by sink.

...

arguments passed on to cat (print.gvis) or browseURL (plot.gvis).

Details

An object of class "gvis" is a list containing at least the following components (tags):

type

Google visualisation type, e.g. 'MotionChart'

chartid

character id of the chart object. Unique chart ids are required to place several charts on the same page.

html

a list with the building blocks for a page

header

a character string of a html page header: <html>...<body>,

chart

a named character vector of the chart's building blocks:

jsHeader

Opening <script> tag and reference to Google's JavaScript library.

jsData

JavaScript function defining the input data as a JSON object.

jsDrawChart

JavaScript function combing the data with the visualisation API and user options.

jsDisplayChart

JavaScript function calling the handler to display the chart.

jsFooter

End tag </script>.

jsChart

Call of the jsDisplayChart function.

divChart

<div> container to embed the chart into the page.

caption

character string of a standard caption, including data name and chart id.

footer

character string of a html page footer: </body>...</html>, including the used R and googleVis version and link to Google's Terms of Use.

Value

print.gvis

None (invisible NULL).

plot.gvis

Returns the file name invisibly.

Note

The plot command does not open a graphics device in the traditional way. Instead it creates HTML files in a temporary directory and uses the R HTTP server to display the output of a googleVis function locally. A browser with Flash and Internet connection is required. The displayed page includes a link (click on the chart id) to a further page, which shows the code of the chart for the user to copy and paste into her own page.

# Markdown example with knitr and googleVis
===========================================
This is a little Markdown example file.
Set the googleVis options first.
In this case change the behaviour of plot.gvis
```{r setOptions, message=FALSE}
library(googleVis)
op <- options(gvis.plot.tag='chart')
```
The following plot statements will automatically return  the HTML
required for the 'knitted' output. 

## Combo chart
```{r ComboExample, results='asis', tidy=FALSE}
## Add the mean
CityPopularity$Mean=mean(CityPopularity$Popularity)
CC <- gvisComboChart(CityPopularity, xvar='City',
          yvar=c('Mean', 'Popularity'),
          options=list(seriesType='bars',
                       width=450, height=300,
                       title='City Popularity',
                       series='{0: {type:\"line\"}}'))
plot(CC)
```
Example of gvisComboChart with R code shown above.

## Place two charts next to each other
```{r gvisMergeExample, results='asis', echo=FALSE}
Geo <- gvisGeoChart(Exports, locationvar='Country', colorvar='Profit', 
                    options=list(height=300, width=350)) 
Tbl <- gvisTable(Exports, options=list(height=300, width=200))
plot(gvisMerge(Geo, Tbl, horizontal=TRUE))
``````
Example of a gvisGeoChart with gvisTable and R code hidden.

## Motion Chart
```{r MotionChartExample, results='asis', tidy=FALSE}
M <- gvisMotionChart(Fruits, 'Fruit', 'Year',
         options=list(width=400, height=350))
plot(M)
```
Please note that the Motion Chart is only displayed when hosted on a
web server, or is placed in a directory which has been added to the 
trusted sources in the [security settings of Macromedia]
(https://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html). 
See the googleVis package vignette for more details. 

```{r resetOptions}
## Set options back to original options
options(op)
```

## server, this will ensure that also the motion chart is visible.

## Updating the data of an existing googleVis web page

## Suppose you have an existing web page in which you embedded a
## motion chart with the id "mtnc".
## Now you have a new set of data, but you would like to avoid
## touching the html file again.
## The idea is to write the data and JavaScript functions into separate
## files and to refer to these in the html page.

## In this example we call the chart id "mtnc"
## To display the example we use the R HTTP server again, and
## write the files into a temp directory

myChartID <- "mtnc"
## baseURL should reflect your web address, e.g. http://myHomePage.com
baseURL <- sprintf("http://127.0.0.1:%s/custom/googleVis", tools:::httpdPort)
wwwdir <- tempdir() ## the www repository on your computer

  
## Create a motion chart
M=gvisMotionChart(Fruits, "Fruit", "Year", chartid=myChartID)

## Here is our plot again
plot(M)

## Write the data and functions into separate files:
cat(M$html$chart['jsData'], file=file.path(wwwdir, "gvisData.js"))
cat(M$html$chart[c('jsDrawChart', 'jsDisplayChart', 'jsChart')], 
          file=file.path(wwwdir, "gvisFunctions.js"))

FruitsUpdate <- Fruits
levels(FruitsUpdate$Location)=c("North", "South")

## Redisplay the chart with the updated data
