R Markdown Presentation: showing one plot in each slide - r

I have a list of 300 plots and want one PowerPoint slide to show one plot (300 slides). What's the best way to achieve this?
A toy example using the built-in iris dataset to create a list of plots:
purrr::map(names(iris[,-5]), function(col_name){
plot = iris %>%
ggplot(aes(x = !!as.name(col_name))) +
geom_histogram()
return(plot)
})
I hope to create PowerPoint slides with one plot on each slide.

I will be using the iris data set, which is a built-in data set often used to populate example code.
With the following code in a Rmd file:
---
title: "Test_PowerPoint"
author: "KoenV"
date: '2022-06-30'
output: powerpoint_presentation
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```
```{r include=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
library(purrr)
```
```{r, iris, fig.cap="A scatterplot.", echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE, message=FALSE}
## your code
purrr::map(names(iris[,-5]), function(col_name){
plot = iris %>%
ggplot(aes(x = !!as.name(col_name))) +
geom_histogram()
return(plot)
})
```
And after hitting the "knit" button, you will see a PowerPoint presentation appearing, with the following lay-out:
Please let me know, whether this is what you wanted.

rmarkdown/purrr: remove list indices between plots

When I knit a document containing multiple plots obtained through purrr:map function, I get text slides in between each plot slide containing unwanted list index information (see image slides 2, 4, and 6). I'd like to remove these and just have plots.
I've tried results = "hide" and results = FALSE in the header.
These just return one plot instead of many, AND the text is still
there.
I've tried adding invisible() around my code as recommended
here. I don't see a difference.
How can I remove these and just have three slides with the three plots with no text?

```{r include=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
```
```{r echo=FALSE, results = FALSE}
ys <- c("mpg","cyl","disp")
ys %>% map(function(y)
invisible(ggplot(mtcars, aes(hp)) + geom_point(aes_string(y=y))))
```
Try this:
To suppress the console output use purrr::walk instead of map. See e.g. https://chrisbeeley.net/?p=1198
To get each plot printed on a separate slide use results='asis' and add two newlines via cat('\n\n') after each plot.

print(p)

Assign figure caption to html widget (vtree package) in R markdown output

I need to implement a figure caption in a plot that is generated by the vtree package in R markdown. I learned that this is a htmlwidget and figure captions should now be possible for htmlwidgets used in R markdown with install.packages('webshot') and webshot::install_phantomjs() (reference: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/html-widgets.html#ref-R-DT.
But days after I am not really any step further. I did not find any example (show case) for this issue (fig.cap for htmlwidgets in R markdown in the net) so my hope is that someone out there can give me some help!
In my iris dataset example, in Fig. 1 the caption is not working in contrast to Fig. 2.
my iris set example RMD file:
YAML
---
title: "test"
author: "TJ"
date: "14 12 2020"
output: html_document
---
code chunk 1: load libraries and data
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
library(vtree)
library(webshot)
library(tidyverse)
attach(iris)
df <- iris %>%
select(Species) %>%
cbind(sapply(levels(.$Species), `==`, .$Species))
code chunk 2: Figure 1
{r fig1, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="Vtree plot"}
vtree(iris, "Species")
code chunk 3: Figure 2
{r fig2, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="Scatter plot iris dataset"}
plot(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, main="Scatterplot Example",
xlab="Sepal Length ", ylab="Sepal Width ", pch=19)
There is a workaround using the Magick package.You save the image as .png using grVizToPNG (make sure you comment this line out before you render your document or put it in a separate chunk with ยด{r eval = FALSE}, otherwise you will get an error during rendering:
```{r eval=FALSE, echo = FALSE}
myimage <- vtree(iris, "Species")
saveMyimage <- grVizToPNG(myimage, width=800)
```
Here you use the Magickpackage:
```{r magick, echo= FALSE}
MyimagePNG <- image_read("myimage.png")
image_annotate(MyimagePNG, "Vtree plot", size = 35, gravity = "southwest")
```

Remove the output of the garbage collector gc() in Rmarkdown

I have a Rmarkdown document where the garbage collector is used to save memory during renderization. The function gc() is called at the end of some code chunks for convenience, but I would like to hide its output, while showing other code in the same chunk (e.g. a plot). If this output is impossible to hide without using eval=FALSE or include=FALSE (eg. with gc() in a separate chunk), then I would like to understand why, and if this might happen for other functions as well.
Example code to reproduce the problem is given below:
---
title: "Example"
output:
html_document
---
```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
library("tidyverse")
```
```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
df <- mtcars %>% dplyr::group_by(cyl) %>% dplyr::summarise(meanMPG = mean(mpg))
df %>% ggplot() + geom_point(aes(x=cyl, y=meanMPG))
rm(df); gc(verbose = FALSE, full = FALSE)
```
EDIT: as you can note, the problem persist even when the options verbose=FALSE and full=FALSE are used in gc().

Print RMarkdown captions from a loop

I am creating a series of plots from within a loop in an RMarkdown document, then knitting this to a PDF. I can do this without any problem, but I would like the caption to reflect the change between each plot. A MWE is shown below:
---
title: "Caption loop"
output: pdf_document
---
```{r, echo=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
p <-
map(names(mtcars), ~ggplot(mtcars) +
geom_point(aes_string(x = 'mpg', y = .))) %>%
set_names(names(mtcars))
```
```{r loops, fig.cap=paste(for(i in seq_along(p)) print(names(p)[[i]])), echo=FALSE}
for(i in seq_along(p)) p[[i]] %>% print
```
I have made a first attempt at capturing the plots and storing in a variable p, and trying to use that to generate the captions, but this isn't working. I haven't found too much about this on SO, despite this surely being something many people would need to do. I did find this question, but it looks so complicated that I was wondering if there is a clear and simple solution that I am missing.
I wondered if it has something to do with eval.after, as with this question, but that does not involve plots generated within a loop.
many thanks for your help!
It seems that knitr is smart enough to do the task automatically. By adding names(mtcars) to the figure caption, knitr iterates through these in turn to produce the correct caption. The only problem now is how to stop all of the list indexes from printing in the document...
---
title: "Caption loop"
output: pdf_document
---
```{r loops, fig.cap=paste("Graph of mpg vs.", names(mtcars)), message=FALSE, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
map(
names(mtcars),
~ ggplot(mtcars) +
geom_point(aes_string(x = 'mpg', y = .))
)
```
In case this might be useful to somebody. Here is an adaptation of Jonny's solution for captions without printing list indices. This can be achieved by using purrr::walk instead of purrr::map. Also included is a latex fig label and text that references each plot.
---
title: "Loop figures with captions"
output:
pdf_document
---
```{r loops, fig.cap=paste(sprintf("\\label{%s}", names(mtcars)), "Graph of mpg vs.", names(mtcars)),results='asis', message=FALSE, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
library(stringi)
walk(names(mtcars),
~{
p <- ggplot(mtcars) +
geom_point(aes_string(x = 'mpg', y = .))
#print plot
cat('\n\n')
print(p)
#print text with refernce to plot
cat('\n\n')
cat(sprintf("Figure \\ref{%s} is a Graph of mpg vs. %s. %s \n\n", ., .,
stri_rand_lipsum(1)))
cat("\\clearpage")
})
```

Adding ggvis plot in RMarkdown document makes knitr::kable output render incorrectly

Reproducible example below. I lose formatting on the table whenever I include a ggvis figure.
---
title: "test"
output: html_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
library(dplyr)
library(ggvis)
library(knitr)
```
The following table looks fine...
```{r echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
cars %>% kable(format = 'markdown')
```
As long as I don't include this plot below
```{r, echo=FALSE}
pressure %>%
ggvis(x = ~temperature, y = ~pressure) %>%
layer_bars()
```
This is probably related to a bug that has been fixed in the development version of ggvis. If you install the latest with devtools::install_github('rstudio/ggvis'), it should work.
