after I upgraded to rCharts version 0.4.5 I am not able to see a plot in my rmarkdown file anymore. I have produced a minimum example rmd where I cannot see the plots anymore (if I open the output in my browser). I have absolutely no clue which package is responsible for this. Note that it works fine if I use the $save mode and just import the created html file as in example number 2.
Do you have any idea?
I created a minimum example from a highcharts demo. This thread also helped me.
```{r echo = F, message = F, cache = F}
# Set options for plots.
library(knitr)
opts_chunk$set(results = 'asis', comment = NA, message = F, tidy = F, echo=FALSE, cache=FALSE)
```
```{r, echo=FALSE}
library(rCharts)
a <- hPlot(Pulse ~ Height, data = MASS::survey, type = "bubble", title = "Zoom demo", subtitle = "bubble chart", size = "Age", group = "Exer")
a$chart(zoomType = "x")
a$exporting(enabled = T)
a$show('iframesrc', cdn = TRUE)
```
```{r, echo=FALSE}
library(rCharts)
a <- hPlot(Pulse ~ Height, data = MASS::survey, type = "bubble", title = "Zoom demo", subtitle = "bubble chart 2", size = "Age", group = "Exer")
a$chart(zoomType = "x")
a$exporting(enabled = T)
a$save('plot2.html', standalone = TRUE)
```
<iframe src="plot2.html" height="450" width="850" frameBorder="0"></iframe>
The answer is a new "feature", that transforms links of e.g. sources starting with http://www. as //www. to make it also work with https://. On webservers, this is interpreted correctly but if you open a local html file, //www. will not be recognized. The issue is reported on the github page.

On a R markdown file, does someone know why out.width,out.height,figure.width and figure.height parameters doesn't change plotly charts size when producing a pdf file? ( I precise that such parameters works perfectly using plot function)
Please find below a reproductible example with a Rmarkdown file
On this example, I would like the plotly chart to occupy the entire sheet like the plot chart.

title: "Change chart size chart on pdf file using plotly"
output:
pdf_document: default
---
```{r setup, include = FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo=FALSE,message=FALSE)
```
## Parameters doesn't work with plotly
```{r, out.width='100%',out.height='100%',fig.height=20, fig.width=15, fig.align="left"}
library(plotly)
plot_ly(x = cars[1:10,]$speed,y = cars[1:10,]$dist)
```
## Parameters works using plot function
```{r,out.width='130%',out.height='100%', fig.height=20, fig.width=15, fig.align="left"}
plot(cars[1:10,])
```
Plotly graphs are primarily designed for interactive outputs, and as such, can behave a bit strange when being exported to static images in PDF. This issue has had some similar posts in the past, and appears to come from how webshot creates the static image.
You can fix this by forcing the plotly graph dimensions when creating the graph. The plot_ly function has the arguments width and height which let you set the output dimensions of the resulting plot.
If you want to include HTML objects in PDF reports, you can use the webshot package which essentially takes a screenshot of the rendered plots and converts it into a static image for you to include in the report. This is explained well in the bookdown book. To install it, you will need to run:
install.packages('webshot')
webshot::install_phantomjs()
Once webshot is installed, it should work automatically:

output:
pdf_document: default
papersize: a4

```{r include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE)
library(plotly)
```
```{r, out.width="100%"}
plot_ly(x = cars[1:10,]$speed,y = cars[1:10,]$dist, width = 1000, height = 1200)
```
Will update this answer if I can work out exactly why it works, but hope that helps!
You need to be very careful while working with plotly graphs with r markdown pdf.
While creating the plotly graph,
Don't forget to explicitly set the size (width and height) of the graph
Use the chunk option of out.width and out.height. They both accept pt,mm,in,px,%
If you're producing the latex output in the pdf then 'px' will not work.
Please find the below code for the graph and the output of the same.
f <- list(
size = 30,
family = 'sans-serif'
)
m <- list(
l = 100,
r = 50,
b = 0,
t = 0,
pad = 4
)
p <- plot_ly(width = 800, height = 800) %>%
add_markers(data = pressure, x = pressure$temperature, y = pressure$pressure) %>%
layout(font = f, margin = m)
p
The output produced by this is
with size and margins
Now after modifying the code chunk options as below:
```{r pressure2, echo=FALSE, out.height="150%", out.width="150%"}
f <- list(
size = 30,
family = 'sans-serif'
)
m <- list(
l = 100,
r = 50,
b = 0,
t = 0,
pad = 4
)
p <- plot_ly(width = 800, height = 800) %>%
add_markers(data = pressure, x = pressure$temperature, y = pressure$pressure) %>%
layout(font = f, margin = m)
p
```
you will get a much bigger graph
Keep coding!
Have you tried only using fig.height & fig.width options and remove out.width and out.height?
{r , fig.height=6, fig.width=9.5}
I am playing around with plotly and I've had success using HTML notebooks using this. It's a little more trial and error but you don't have to rebuild the plots.
I want co change column width in pdf with kable ( , 'latex') but the fucntion doesn't work. Anybody know why? here is my code:
table = knitr::kable(jeden, "latex" , row.names = F , align = "llrrrrrrrrrr" , escape = F, booktabs = F, caption = '1. Sprzedaz uslug i towarow razem')
kableExtra::column_spec(table, 1, width = "1cm", bold = TRUE, italic = TRUE)
It's not a bug but rather a relatively strange setting for align in knitr::kable(). In xtable you can put align in a string but for kable, you will have to provide a vector. In your case, if you put things like align = c(rep("l", 2), rep("r"), 2), you should be fine.
It seems that align breaks your column_spec, but only for LaTeX/PDF output.
Here are two minimal & reproducible examples.
PDF output
---
title: "Untitled"
output:
pdf_document: default
---
```{r}
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
x <- kable(head(mtcars[, 1:4]), "latex", row.names = F, align = "llrr")
column_spec(x, 1:2, width = "4cm", bold = TRUE, italic = TRUE)
```
If you remove align from the PDF RMarkdown document, column_spec works as expected.
HTML output
---
title: "Untitled"
output:
html_document: default
---
```{r}
library(knitr)
library(kableExtra)
x <- kable(head(mtcars[, 1:4]), "html", row.names = F, align = "llrr")
column_spec(x, 1:2, width = "4cm", bold = TRUE, italic = TRUE)
```
This seems like a bug to me, and I would suggest opening an issue on the kableExtra GitHub site. If you do, you should reference this post, and include a minimal & reproducible example (similar to what I did).
I want to display two charts with the rCharts package, one next to the other, more or less like the two pies are displayed in this link:
http://nvd3.org/examples/pie.html
I have a partial solution using <iframe>, but the solution has three problems:
It is too case specific
Including controls becomes a complicated task
It does not look too nice
Minimum working example:
---
title: "Example"
output: html_document
---
```{r rcht, message=FALSE, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
library(rCharts)
df<-data.frame(label=c("One","Two","Three"),valuea=c(1,2,3),othera=c(10,11,12),
valueb=c(4,5,6),otherb=c(10,11,12),stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
p1 <- nPlot(valuea~ label, data = df, type = 'pieChart',height = 225, width = 300)
p2<- nPlot(valueb~ label, data = df, type = 'pieChart',height = 225, width = 300)
p1$show('inline', include_assets = TRUE, cdn = F)
p2$show('inline', include_assets = TRUE, cdn = F)
```
```{r message=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
p1$save("pie1.html", standalone = TRUE)
p2$save("pie2.html", standalone = TRUE)
```
<div align="center">
<font size="10" color="black" face="sans-serif">Both Pies</font><br>
<p>
<iframe src="pie1.html" height="400" width="400"></iframe>
<iframe src="pie2.html" height="400" width="400"></iframe>
</p>
<div>
I know pie charts should not be used and that I could use a multi-bar chart. However, I want to use this type of layout with other kinds of charts in the rCharts package.
Additionally, I would like to include controls in the charts whilst they are shown next to each other. Including the following code before the $save() function adds the controls:
```{r message=FALSE, echo=FALSE}
p1$addControls('y','valuea',values=c('valuea','othera'))
p2$addControls('y','valueb',values=c('valueb','otherb'))
```
This issue is less relevant to me, but if someone has a solution (preferably with only one control for both charts), it would be great.
I understand all this might be too much to handle from R. Any help/advice is appreciated.
Not elegant, but functional (I did not try it with controls):
---
title: "Example"
output: html_document
---
```{r rcht, message=FALSE, echo=FALSE, results='asis'}
library(rCharts)
library(htmltools)
df <- data.frame(label=c("One","Two","Three"),valuea=c(1,2,3),othera=c(10,11,12),
valueb=c(4,5,6),otherb=c(10,11,12),stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
p1 <- nPlot(valuea~ label, data = df, type = 'pieChart',height = 225, width = 300)
p2 <- nPlot(valueb~ label, data = df, type = 'pieChart',height = 225, width = 300)
```
```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"}
cat("<table width='100%'><tr style='width:100%'><td width='50%'>")
```
```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"}
p1$show('inline', include_assets = TRUE, cdn = FALSE)
```
```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"}
cat("</td><td>")
```
```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"}
p2$show('inline', include_assets = TRUE, cdn = FALSE)
```
```{r echo=FALSE, results="asis"}
cat("</td></tr></table>")
```
Hi I am having the same problem with controls it looks that in the viewer of R-studio everything works fine but not when I compile with Rmarkdown it doesn't show the plot at all.
```{r results = 'asis', comment = NA}
require(rCharts)
require(datasets)
p2 <- nPlot(mpg ~ cyl, group = 'wt',
data = mtcars, type = 'scatterChart')
p2$xAxis(axisLabel = 'Log2')
p2$yAxis(axisLabel = 'Log2')
p2$chart(tooltipContent = "#! function(key, x, y, e){
return '<b>Name:</b> ' + e.point.GeneID
} !#")
p2$chart(color = c('red', 'green'))
p2$addControls("x", value = 'mpg', values = names(mtcars))
p2$addControls("y", value = 'cyl', values = names(mtcars))
cat('<style>.nvd3{height: 400px;}</style>')
p2$print('chart2', include_assets = TRUE)
```
The code above is the addControls are removed actually works also in the rmarkdown.
Also, if you try to run the code above in Rstudio console (just from p2<-nPlot to cat command) and then calling p2 I can actually see the controls.
I am trying to embed a NVD3 chart in a Markdown document. I am on a Ubuntu64 system with RStudio 0.98.932, R 3.1.0, rCharts 0.4.2, the browser is Chrome.
The instructions/code from this link:
```{r}
library(rCharts)
library(knitr)
opts_chunk$set(comment = NA, results = "asis", comment = NA, tidy = F)
hair_eye_male = subset(as.data.frame(HairEyeColor), Sex == "Male")
n1 <- nPlot(Freq ~ Hair, group = 'Eye',
data = hair_eye_male, type = 'multiBarChart'
)
n1$set(width = 600)
# n1$show('iframesrc', cdn = TRUE) # option 1
# n1$show('inline', include_assets = TRUE, cdn = TRUE) # option 2
```
Neither of the options [n1$show] work, I just get code in a browser. Is there another way of including NVD3 documents in Markdown?
To get rCharts to work with knit2html, you will need to use the print method with the argument include_assets = TRUE. This is because knitr will not add the js and css assets required by an rCharts plot automatically. Here is a minimal working example.
## MorrisJS with Knit2HTML
```{r results = 'asis', comment = NA}
require(rCharts)
data(economics, package = 'ggplot2')
econ <- transform(economics, date = as.character(date))
m1 <- mPlot(x = 'date', y = c('psavert', 'uempmed'), type = 'Line',
data = econ)
m1$set(pointSize = 0, lineWidth = 1)
m1$print('chart2', include_assets = TRUE)
```
Note that you need to use m1$print('chart2', include_assets = TRUE, cdn = TRUE) if you intend to publish your chart on RPubs, for otherwise the JS and CSS assets will be served from your local library.
Source:Knitr HTML in R Markdown
This code is working for me. I am using ubuntu64 and same config you mentioned.
```{r, echo=FALSE,results='asis',comment=NA}
library(rCharts)
hair_eye_male <- subset(as.data.frame(HairEyeColor), Sex == "Male")
n1 <- nPlot(Freq ~ Hair, group = "Eye", data = hair_eye_male, type = "multiBarChart")
n1$show('iframesrc',cdn=TRUE)
```
Note : you must write results='asis' and comment = NA in chunk options and not use opts_chunk$set as you have in your code block and what you pasted to copy.com.
In the (few so far) learning-oriented examples on the web of integrating knitr and rCharts we often see a line of code within an R chunk as follows:
options(RCHART_WIDTH = 800, RCHART_HEIGHT = 500)
When I include this sort of variable setting in an R chunk of an R markdown document it seems to make no difference at all to the actual size of the eventual chart in html. What extra thing am I missing that will let me control the width and height of rCharts? Reproducible *.rmd file is below.
```{r echo = F, message = F, cache = F}
opts_chunk$set(results = 'asis', comment = NA, message = F, tidy = F, echo=FALSE, cache=FALSE)
require(rCharts)
options(RCHART_WIDTH = 600, RCHART_HEIGHT = 400)
```
## Example plot with un-customised dimensions
```{r}
data(economics, package = 'ggplot2')
econ <- transform(economics, date = as.character(date))
m1 <- mPlot(x = 'date', y = c('psavert', 'uempmed'), type = 'Line',
data = econ)
m1$set(pointSize = 0, lineWidth = 1)
m1$print('chart2', include_assets = TRUE, cdn=TRUE)
```
The issue is that the print method does not include the css that sizes the charts. Easiest fix would be to add the following css to your Rmd file .rChart{width: 600px; height: 400px}. The print method is being rewritten and we are trying to figure out the most flexible yet useful way to do it.
