markdown+shiny+ggvis: graphics updated in new browser window - r

Question

When using ggvis with shiny+markdown, everytime my graphic is updated, a new browser window is open.
Consider the following MWE:
---
title: "a"
author: "b"
date: "2015"
output: html_document
runtime: shiny
---
Works fine when using base graphics:
```{r,echo=FALSE}
X <- data.frame(t=1:50,x=arima.sim(list(1,0,0),50))
inputPanel(
sliderInput('p','p',0,2,0,1,TRUE),
sliderInput('n','n',0,1,0.5,0.1,TRUE)
)
renderPlot({
plot(X)
lines(predict(loess(x~t,X,span=input$n,degree=input$p),X$t),col='red')
})
```
When using ggvis, the graphic is updated in a new window!
```{r,echo=FALSE}
library(ggvis)
inputPanel(
sliderInput('p','p',0,2,0,1,TRUE),
sliderInput('n','n',0,1,0.5,0.1,TRUE)
)
renderPlot({
X %>% ggvis(x=~t,y=~x) %>% layer_points() %>%
layer_model_predictions(stroke:='red',model='loess',formula=x~t,
model_args=list(span=input$n,degree=input$p))
})
```
I found no updated example where the Shiny variable is accessed explicitly as in this MWE...

Answer 1

Reading through the Properties and scales vignette of ggvis, I now realize that it is easier to use their Shiny wrappers: input_slider instead of sliderInput.
So, the previous code would become:
```{r,echo=FALSE}
X %>% ggvis(x=~t,y=~x) %>% layer_points() %>%
layer_model_predictions(stroke='red',model='loess',formula=x~t,
model_args=list(
span=input_slider(0,2,1,1,TRUE),
degree=input_slider(0,1,0.01))
```
I could have used Shiny directly, but apparently, I would have to tell ggvis about shiny using bind_shiny, and tell shiny about ggvis using ggvisOutput.
