Using Shiny to introduce graph filter - r

Hello Stackoverflow Commununity !
I am working on a Dashboard using Flexdashboard and Shiny.
I want to introduce a filter on a graph.
The dataframe used for the graph is the following :
date <- seq(as.Date("2017/1/1"), as.Date("2018/1/1"), by = "month")
date <- as.character(date[-1])
proto <- as.data.frame(matrix(c(1,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,
0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,
5,5,5,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,8,8), ncol = 3, nrow = length(date), byrow = F))
names(proto)[1] <- "cap_1"
names(proto)[2] <- "cap_2"
names(proto)[3] <- "cap_3"
row.names(proto) <- date
proto$total <- proto[,1] + proto[,2] + proto[,3]
If I run the graph out of the shiny code, it works perfectly for each column and I obtain :
Ggplot Graph for the total column
Now, I try to put this graph into my dashboard with the objective to have a filter on the graph to select the column (cap_1, cap_2, cap_3 or total) to plot.
Here is the code I used :
ProtoUI <- function(id) {
ns <- NS(id)
fillCol(height = 600, flex = c(NA, 1),
inputPanel(
selectInput(ns("cap"), "Capabilities:", choices = colnames(proto))
),
plotOutput(ns("proto_plot"), height = "100%")
)
}
Proto_serve <- function(input, output, session) {
output$proto_plot <- renderPlot({
ggplot(proto, aes(row.names(proto), input$cap, group = 1)) +
geom_line(size=1.5, color="blue") +
labs(x = "Date", y = "Number of prototypes", title = " ") +
geom_rangeframe() +
theme_tufte() +
theme(axis.text=element_text(size=12),
axis.title=element_text(size=13,face="bold"))
})
}
ProtoUI("proto")
callModule(Proto_serve, "proto")
And I obtain this graph :
Graph in the dashboard
Normally, the line must not be constant but should follow the data of the dataframe for the column selected.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge to solve my issue =)

How to convert a piece of R code into Shiny apps?

A new self-learner for Shiny apps, still trying to explore the structure of Shiny apps. I have a piece of code which I want to convert into Shiny apps. I wonder if someone can walk me through how the process goes. My goal is to make the figure title/subtitle dynamic based on inputs (i.e., lnHR0, p_ctl0, tfu) to function. Thanks!!!
R code:
library(tidyverse)
library(ggplot2)
WR_sim_OC <- function(n_trt, n_ctl, lnHR0, p_trt0, med_ctl, tfu, enroll, dur_boost){
#n_trt=60: number of subjects (treatment)
#n_ctl=30: number of subjects (control)
#lnHR0=log(1): Overall Survival Log Hazard Ratio
#p_trt0 = seq(0.46, 0.66, 0.01): Response Rate (Treatment)
#med_ctl=21.8: Median Overall Survival (Control)
#tfu=9: Minimum Follow-up Time
#enroll=19: Enrollment Time
#dur_boost=0: Durability Boost (percentage)
## insert real simulation code here ##
## Fake Results
results <- tibble(ORR_trt = p_trt0, avg_HR = rep(0.774, times = 4), maturity = rep(36.7, times = 4), ORR = c(20.71, 38.87, 60.61, 78.95),
WR = c(46.8, 56.0, 64.3, 72.8), WO = c(46.0, 55.0, 63.7, 71.9), OS = rep(55.0, times = 4))
## Create Operating Characteristic Figure
dat <- results %>% pivot_longer(c(ORR, WR, WO, OS), names_to = 'Method', values_to = 'POS')
out1 <- ggplot(data = dat, aes(x = ORR_trt, y = POS, group = Method)) +
geom_line(aes(color = Method), size = 1) +
geom_point(aes(color = Method), size = 2.5) +
theme(legend.position = 'bottom') +
labs(title = 'HR=1.0 Treatment vs. Control', subtitle = 'ORR in Control Arm=46%, 9mo follow-up', color = 'Method') +
ylab('Probability of Incorrect Go') +
xlab('ORR in Treatment Arm') +
ylim(0, 100)
## Output OC Table + Figure to shiny app
list(results, out1)
}
WR_sim_OC(n_trt=60, n_ctl=30, lnHR0=log(1), p_ctl0=0.46, p_trt0 = seq(0.46, 0.66, 0.06), med_ctl=21.8, tfu=9, enroll=19, dur_boost=0)
I tried writing the ui.R as follows (suppose the suv_plot is the output name), which I know is wrong. The server.R part is too hard for me... Can someone help?
fluidPage(
numericInput("lnHRO",
label = h3("ln(HRO)"),
value = log(1)),
numericInput("pctl",
label = h3("Response Rate (Control)"),
value = 0.46),
numericInput("tfu",
label = h3("Minimum Follow-up Time (Month)"),
value = 9),
hr(),
plotOutput("suv_plot")
)
My first suggestion is just to look at tutorials on shiny, they give a great overview on how to start a project: https://shiny.rstudio.com/tutorial/
I didn't know a thing about programming a few years back, so I understand it can be hard figuring out where to start, so I wanted to give you an idea of how to implement a function, and use shiny inputs to make the resulting table/plot be dynamic.
I switched up your code to be easier to reproduce for myself. I hope this gives you the starting point you need:
library(tidyverse)
library(ggplot2)
library(shiny)
WR_sim_OC <- function(MPG, CYL, DISP){
results <- mtcars%>% #Function to make a table
filter(cyl > CYL,
mpg > MPG,
disp > DISP)
out1 <- ggplot(data = results, aes(x = mpg, y = disp, group = cyl)) +
geom_line(aes(color = hp), size = 1) #Function to make a plot
list(results, out1) #List to create table and function
}
ui <- fluidPage(
numericInput("MilesPerGallon", "mpg", value = 15),
numericInput("Cylinders", "cyl", value = 4),
numericInput("Displacement", "disp", value = 200),
tableOutput("TABLE"),
plotOutput("PLOT")
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
output$TABLE<-renderTable({
req(input$MilesPerGallon, input$Cylinders, input$Displacement) #Requires all three inputs before it makes the table
WR_sim_OC(input$MilesPerGallon, input$Cylinders, input$Displacement)[1] #Only pulling the table from the function
})
output$PLOT<-renderPlot({
req(input$MilesPerGallon, input$Cylinders, input$Displacement) #Requires all three inputs before it makes the plot
WR_sim_OC(input$MilesPerGallon, input$Cylinders, input$Displacement)[2] #Only pulling the plot from the function
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Essentially on the server side where you render the plot or table, you use those inputs from the ui as the dynamic points in your function. I used req() for both of the renderTable and renderPlot to make sure the inputs are filled out before it makes the table plot. Best of luck!

How can I summarize reactive data from outside a render function in a Shiny app?

For this particular shiny example I am trying to apply a circular model and display and summarize it within the ggplot and a summary table. This is straightforward up until trying to add in reactive 'brushplot' capabilities. Each of the data points represent a date and the point of the selective graph is to be able to discard undesirable dates. As far as I've figured out, this requires the filtering and model fitting to be within a renderPlot which then leads to complications (unable to find the data/model) trying to call the filtered data and the circular model's statistical outputs outside the function and/or within another reactive function. This yields the Error: object 'k_circ.lm' not found So my questions are:
How can I read the filtered data from the renderPlot function
to the summarytable matrix?
How could I similarly add the fitted model values and residuals from k_circ.lm?
Is there a better or simpler way to arrange app to avoid this?
Alternatative code lines are commented out for a working (if poorly formatted) summary table.

Here's a few ideas - but there are multiple approaches to handling this, and you probably want to restructure your server function a bit more after working with this further.
First, you probably want a reactive expression that will update your model based on vals$keeprows as this changes with your clicks. Then, you can access the model results from this expression from both your plot and data table.
Here is an example:
fit_model <- reactive({
## Keep and exclude based on reactive value keeprows
keep = cdat[ vals$keeprows, , drop = FALSE]
exclude = cdat[!vals$keeprows, , drop = FALSE]
## Fits circular model specifically for 'keeprows' of selected data
k_circlm <- lm.circular(type = "c-c", y = keep$cthetarad, x = keep$cpsirad, order = 1)
## Returns list of items including what to keep, exclude, and model
list(k_circlm = k_circlm, keep = keep, exclude = exclude)
})
It will return a list that you can access from the plot:
output$k <- renderPlot({
exclude <- fit_model()[["exclude"]]
keep <- fit_model()[["keep"]]
k_circlm <- fit_model()[["k_circlm"]]
ggplot(keep, aes(cthetarad, cpsirad)) +
...
And can access the same from your table (though you have as renderPlot?):
output$s <- renderPlot({
keep = fit_model()[["keep"]]
k_circ.lm <- fit_model()[["k_circlm"]]
# Create Summary table
summarytable <- data.frame(matrix(ncol = 4, nrow = nrow(keep)))
...
Note that because the table length changes with rows kept, you might want to use nrow(keep) as I have above, rather than nrow(cdat), unless I am mistaken.
I also loaded gridExtra library for testing this.
I suspect there are a number of other improvements you could consider, but thought this might help you get to a functional state first.

stacked geom_bar in shiny that depends on select input

I'm trying to include a stacked bar chart in shiny that depends on a select input. It works fine outside of shiny but in shiny it is not displaying multiple bars.
Code:
library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
# Define UI ----
ui <- fluidPage(
# Application title
titlePanel("Group fairness analysis"),
# Sidebar
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(
selectInput("group", "Group:",
c("Age" = "age",
"Gender" = "gender",
"Region" = "region",
"Ethnicity"="ethnicity"))
),
# Show a plot of the generated distribution
mainPanel(
h3("Accuracy bar chart"),
plotOutput("accPlot")
)
)
)
# Define server logic ----
server <- function(input, output) {
output$accPlot <- renderPlot({
g2 <- ggplot(df %>% count(get(input$group),correct) , aes(x=c(input$group),y=n,fill=as.factor(correct))) +
geom_bar(stat="identity",position=position_fill())+
scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent) +
geom_text(aes(label = paste0((n/nrow(df))*100,"%")), position = position_fill(vjust = 0.5), size = 5)+
theme_bw()+
ylab("")+
coord_flip()
g2
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)
Sample data
# data -----------------------------------------------------------
n<-20 #number of users
threshold <- 60 #threshold in risk score for referral to YS
df <- data.frame(age = rep(0,n),
gender = rep(0,n),
ethnicity = rep(0,n),
region = rep(0,n),
score = rep(0,n),
referred = rep(0,n),
target = rep(0,n))
df$age <- as.factor(sample(c(15,16,17),size=n,replace=TRUE))
df$gender <- as.factor(sample(c('M','F'),size=n,replace=TRUE))
df$ethnicity<- as.factor(sample(c('European','Maori','Pacific','other'),size=n,replace=TRUE))
df$region<-as.factor(sample(c('North','Mid','South'),size=n,replace=TRUE))
df$score<-runif(n,min=0,max=100)
df$target<-sample(c(0,1),size=n,replace = TRUE)
df[which(df$score>=threshold),"referred"]<-1
df$colour<-rep(0,n)
df[which(df$referred==1 & df$target==1),"colour"]<-1
df[which(df$referred==1 & df$target==0),"colour"]<-2
df[which(df$referred==0 & df$target==1),"colour"]<-3
df[which(df$referred==0 & df$target==0),"colour"]<-4
df$correct<-rep(0,n)
df[which(df$referred==0 & df$target==0),"correct"]<-1
df[which(df$referred==1 & df$target==1),"correct"]<-1
df[which(df$referred==0 & df$target==1),"correct"]<-0
df[which(df$referred==1 & df$target==0),"correct"]<-0
It should look like
Your input$group from selectInput is a string, not a variable symbol. You can convert it to a symbol for your ggplot with rlang::sym and evaluate with !!.
In addition, your aesthetic for ggplot can use aes_string and refer to your column names as strings.
And would convert your correct column to a factor separately.
df$correct <- as.factor(df$correct)
...
g2 <- ggplot(df %>% count(!!rlang::sym(input$group), correct), aes_string(x=c(input$group), y="n", fill="correct")) +
...

Erasing all selectizeInput() values without Shiny app closing after onRender() has been called

I am trying to create a Shiny app to explore a data frame with 4 variables/columns (A, B, C, D) and 10,000 rows. There is an input field where users must select 2 of the 4 variables/columns. Once they have done so, then a scatterplot is shown on the right. The scatterplot is a Plotly object with hexagon binning summarizing the values of the 10,000 rows between the two user-selected variables/columns.
At this point, the user can select a "Go!" button, which causes an orange dot corresponding to the first row of those 2 variables/columns to be superimposed onto the Plotly object. The user can sequentially select "Go!" and then the orange dot corresponding to the second, third, fourth, etc. row will be superimposed onto the Plotly object. The name of the row ID is output above the scatterplot matrix.
For the most part, the app is working. There are only 2 things I am trying to improve upon:
1) I would like the user to be able to select new pairs in the input field. This works for the most part. However, there is one specific situation where this will cause the app to close suddenly. It happens after an orange point has been overlaid onto the scatterplot. If the user then erases the two input pairs, the app suddenly closes. I would like the user to be able to erase both input pair values and input two new pair values without the app closing even after orange points have been plotted to the scatterplot.
2) I notice that the output of the row ID lags somewhat after the orange dot is plotted. I wonder why this happens since I output the row ID before plotting the orange dot in the script. I would prefer for there to be less of a lag, but am uncertain how to approach that.
Any suggestions on how to solve either of these two issues would be greatly appreciated! My MWE showing this issue is below.

As #HubertL mentioned, it's better to avoid nesting reactive functions. Your app will probably run more smoothely if you change that.
About your first problem, req and validate are probably the best way to go. These functions check if the user inputs are valid and deal with the invalid ones.
I've adjusted your code a bit following these sugetions, but you still can change it more. If you take a closer look to ggPS you may notice that it only uses datSel() so you could turn it into a function.

Shiny: Conditional Panel and Conditional List of checkboxGroupInput

I want to create a shiny app for plotting the most recent pollstR charts of US presidential primaries. Users should be able to select a Party (Dem or Rep), the Candidates and the states, where the primaries (or Caucusus) took place.
I have three problems:
Based on the selected party (Dem or Rep), users should get the next checkboxGroupInput, where only the Democratic or Republican candidates appear. I try to solved that with a conditionalPanel. However, I cannot use "Candidate" twice as a name for the Widget (later in the server.R I need input$Candidate). How can I solve that?
Based on the selected party (again Dem or Rep), users should get a list of all states, where primaries and caucusus took place up to now. At the moment, I am listing all US states, which I defined before (and hence I get errors, if I want to plot the results of states, where no polls are available). Is there a way to get the list of states from the dataset, which is generated in the server.R part (it is called polls$state there, but I cannot use it, because the ui.R does not now "polls").
I plot the results as bar-charts with ggplot and the facet_wrap function (with two columns). The more states I choose, the smaller the plots get. Is there a way to set the height of the plots and insert a vertical scrollbar in the main panel?
Here is the code for the UI:
shinyUI(fluidPage(
titlePanel("2016 Presidential primaries"),
sidebarLayout(position = "right",
sidebarPanel(
helpText("Choose between Democratic (Dem) and Republican (Rep)
Primaries and Caucuses:"),
selectInput("party",
label = "Dem or Rep?",
choices = c("Dem", "Rep",
selected = "Dem")),
conditionalPanel(
condition = "input.party == 'Dem'",
checkboxGroupInput("Candidate", label = h4("Democratic Candidates"),
choices = list("Clinton" = "Clinton", "Sanders" = "Sanders"),
selected = NULL)),
conditionalPanel(
condition = "input.party == 'Rep'",
checkboxGroupInput("Candidate", label = h4("Republican Candidates"),
choices = list("Bush" = "Bush", "Carson" = "Carson", "Christie" = "Christie",
"Cruz" = "Cruz", "Kasich" = "Kasich", "Rubio" = "Rubio",
"Trump" = "Trump"),
selected = NULL)),
checkboxGroupInput("state",
label = "Select State",
choices = states,
inline = TRUE,
selected = NULL)
),
mainPanel(
tabsetPanel(
tabPanel("Plot", plotOutput("plot")),
tabPanel("Table", tableOutput("table"))
)
)
)
))
And here the code for the server.R:

require(pollstR)
# load dplyr and tidyr for data wrangling
require(dplyr)
require(tidyr)
# load ggplot2 for plotting
require(ggplot2)
# download 2016 GOP presidential primaries
repPoll <- pollstr_charts(topic='2016-president-gop-primary', showall = TRUE)
# extract and combine columns needed
choice <- repPoll$estimates$choice
value <- repPoll$estimates$value
election <- repPoll$estimates$slug
party <- repPoll$estimates$party
rep.df <- data_frame(election, choice, value, party)
# extract and combine slug and state info to add list of US state abbreviations
election <- repPoll$charts$slug
state <- repPoll$charts$state
r.stateAbb <- data_frame(election, state)
# join both data frames based on slug
rep.df <- left_join(rep.df, r.stateAbb, by = "election")
## download 2016 DEM presidential primaries
demPoll <- pollstr_charts(topic='2016-president-dem-primary', showall = TRUE)
# extract and combine columns needed
choice <- demPoll$estimates$choice
value <- demPoll$estimates$value
election <- demPoll$estimates$slug
party <- demPoll$estimates$party
dem.df <- data_frame(election, choice, value, party)
# extract and combine slug and state info to add list of US state abbreviations
election <- demPoll$charts$slug
state <- demPoll$charts$state
d.stateAbb <- data_frame(election, state)
# join both data frames based on slug
dem.df <- left_join(dem.df, d.stateAbb, by = "election")
# combine dem and rep datasets
polls <- bind_rows(dem.df, rep.df)
polls$party <- as.factor(polls$party)
polls$state <- as.factor(polls$state)
polls$choice <- as.factor(polls$choice)
shinyServer(function(input, output) {
df <- reactive({
polls %>% filter(party %in% input$party) %>% filter(choice %in% input$Candidate) %>%
filter(state %in% input$state)
})
# generate figures
output$plot <- renderPlot({
validate(
need(input$party, "Please select a party"),
need(input$Candidate, "Please choose at least one candidate"),
need(input$state, "Please select at least one state")
)
p <- ggplot(df())
p <- p + geom_bar(aes(x = choice, weight = value, fill = choice),
position = "dodge", width=.5)
# colorize bars based on parties
if (input$party == "Dem")
p <- p + scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Blues", direction = -1)
if (input$party == "Rep")
p <- p + scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Reds", direction = -1)
# add hlines for waffle-design
p <- p + geom_hline(yintercept=seq(0, 100, by = 10), col = 'white') +
geom_text(aes(label = value, x = choice, y = value + 1), position = position_dodge(width=0.9), vjust=-0.25) +
# facet display
facet_wrap( ~ state, ncol = 2) +
# scale of y-axis
ylim(0, 100) +
# delete labels of x- and y-axis
xlab("") + ylab("") +
# blank background and now grids and legend
theme(panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(), panel.grid.major.y = element_blank(),
panel.grid.minor.y = element_blank(),
panel.background = element_blank(), legend.position = "none")
print(p)
}
)
# Generate a table view of the data
output$table <- renderTable({
polls %>% filter(party %in% input$party) %>% filter(choice %in% input$Candidate) %>%
filter(state %in% input$state)
})
}
)
Here is the solution for problem 1 and 2:
In ui.R, replace conditionalPanel and checkboxGroupInput with
uiOutput('candidates'),
uiOutput('states')
In server.R, add the following code before df <- reactive({..... Note that you need to change some of your input$Candidate code to lower case.
observeEvent(input$party, {
output$candidates <- renderUI({
checkboxGroupInput(
"candidate",
ifelse(input$party == 'Dem', "Democratic Candidates", "Republican Candidates"),
as.vector(unique(filter(polls,party==input$party)$choice))
)
})
})
observeEvent(input$candidate, {
output$states <- renderUI({
states_list <- as.vector(unique(filter(polls, party==input$party & choice==input$candidate)$state))
checkboxGroupInput(
"state",
"Select state",
# Excluding national surveys
states_list[states_list!="US"]
)
})
})
For problem 3, change the df reactive to observe, and then set plot height depending on how many states selected. Also change this line p <- ggplot(df)
observe({
df <- polls %>% filter(party %in% input$party) %>% filter(choice %in% input$candidate) %>% filter(state %in% input$state)
height <- ceiling(length(input$state) / 2) * 200
output$plot <- renderPlot({
#Your plot code
}, height=height)
})
