I'd like to display a time series as a highchart interactive graphic. However, in the following R scrip the dates are not displayed correctly all. The numerical value for the date is cut after five digits, making them appear all on the same day and time.
Anyone experienced and solved something similar?
library(plyr)
library(rCharts)
library(rHighcharts)
cs <-c("13-10-30 12:30:00", "13-10-30 12:35:00", "13-10-30 12:40:00",
"13-10-30 12:45:00", "13-10-30 12:50:00", "13-10-30 12:55:00")
x <-strptime(cs, "%y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
dfr <-data.frame(date=as.POSIXct(x,origin="1970-01-01"),
value=c(1.5,1.25,.75,2.1,1.3,1.4))
hpl <- hPlot(
value~date,
data = dfr,
type = "scatter"
)
hpl$xAxis(type = "datetime")
hpl$chart(zoomType = "x")
hpl$plotOptions(
line = list(
marker = list(enabled = F)
)
)

I need to highlight some dates ranges in my time series chart, but I can´t go ahead.
The dataset used is following:
library(dplyr)
library(xts)
library(zoo)
df <- read.csv("https://github.com/rhozon/datasets/raw/master/dataset_1a.csv", header = TRUE, sep =",") %>%
mutate(
dates = as.Date(dates)
) %>%
filter(
dates >= "2019-01-01"
) %>%
glimpse()
df_xts <- xts(df[,-1, drop = FALSE], order.by = df[,1]) %>% as.xts()
class(df_xts)
head(df_xts)
Then I tryed the following PerfomanceAnalytics commands:
library(PerformanceAnalytics)
# Create period to hold the 3 months of 2020
period <- c("2020-01/2020-03")
# Highlight the first three months of 2020
chart.TimeSeries(df$prices_usa, period.areas = period, period.color = "lightgrey")
with no success...
Error in try.xts(x, error = "'x' needs to be timeBased or xtsible") :
'x' needs to be timeBased or xtsible
By using the dygraphs package...
library(dygraphs)
dygraph( df$prices_usa ) %>%
dyShading(from = "2020-06-30", to = "2020-09-01") %>%
dyAnnotation("2020-08-01", text = "X", tooltip = "date range") %>%
dyAxis("x", drawGrid = TRUE) %>%
dyEvent("2020-06-30", "Jul 2020", labelLoc = "bottom") %>%
dyEvent("2020-09-01", "Sep 2020", labelLoc = "bottom") %>%
dyOptions(drawPoints = FALSE, pointSize = 2) #%>%
And again I found another issue:
Error in dygraph(df$prices_usa) : Unsupported type passed to argument 'data'.
I didn´t tryed with the ggplot2 package because I need to use it with interaticvity.
Could someone recommend me a solution to these issues or something that is simpler to do (even with ggplot2+plotly) that can be useful for me to demarcate or highlight some ranges of dates/periods in my time series graphs?
Using the reproducible xts object in the Note at the end use plot and xblocks. To specify a different color use something like adjustcolor("blue", 0.2) in place of grey(...). For many other approaches google R shading recessions
library(xts)
plot(as.zoo(aapl))
xblocks(aapl, ifelse(time(aapl) %in% time(aapl[period]), grey(.2, .2), NA))
Note
library(quantmod)
getSymbols("AAPL")
period <- "2020-01/2020-03"
aapl <- Cl(AAPL)
The code blow generates a plotly graph with one data point. I design this plot to be able to display some text information when the users move the mouse cursor to the data point, but as the plot shows, this does not work.
library(dplyr)
library(lubridate)
library(plotly)
a1 <- data.frame(
DateTime = ymd_hms("2020-01-01 08:00:00"),
Value = 1
)
a1 <- a1 %>%
mutate(DateTimeText = as.character(DateTime))
p1 <- plot_ly(a1, x = ~DateTime, y = ~Value, type = "scatter", mode = "markers",
text = ~DateTimeText,
hovertemplate = paste(
"<br>Date Time: %{text} </br>",
"<br>Value: %{y} </br>",
"<extra></extra>"))
However, if I provided two data points. The code works. Here is an example. This is strange to me as I think both cases should work. Please give some advice.
a2 <- data.frame(
DateTime = ymd_hms(c("2020-01-01 08:00:00", "2020-01-02 08:00:00")),
Value = c(1, 2)
)
a2 <- a2 %>%
mutate(DateTimeText = as.character(DateTime))
p2 <- plot_ly(a2, x = ~DateTime, y = ~Value, type = "scatter", mode = "markers",
text = ~DateTimeText,
hovertemplate = paste(
"<br>Date Time: %{text} </br>",
"<br>Value: %{y} </br>",
"<extra></extra>"))
The issue is that your length 1 vector in R is not properly converted to a JSON array of length 1. This a known pitfall as there is some ambiguity when converting R objects to JSON, see https://plotly-r.com/json.html. This ambiguity does not arise when you have a vector of length > 1. That's why you code works in such cases.
To solve this make use of the asIs function or I, i.e. use text = ~I(DateTimeText). Try this:
library(dplyr)
library(lubridate)
library(plotly)
a1 <- data.frame(
DateTime = ymd_hms("2020-01-01 08:00:00"),
Value = 1
)
a1 <- a1 %>%
mutate(DateTimeText = as.character(DateTime))
p1 <- plot_ly(a1, x = ~DateTime, y = ~Value, type = "scatter", mode = "markers",
text = ~I(DateTimeText),
hovertemplate = paste(
"<br>Date Time: %{text} </br>",
"<br>Value: %{y} </br>",
"<extra></extra>"))
p1
TLDR: I want to label the frame slider with the three letter abbreviation instead of the number for each month.
I created a bar chart showing average snow depth each month over a 40 year period. I'm pulling my data from NOAA and then grouping by year and month using lubridate. Here is the code:
snow_depth <- govy_data$snwd %>%
replace_na(list(snwd = 0)) %>%
mutate(month_char = month(date, label = TRUE, abbr = TRUE)) %>%
group_by(year = year(date), month = month(date), month_char) %>%
summarise(avg_depth = mean(snwd))
The mutate function creates a column (month_char) in the data frame holding the three letter abbreviation for each month. The class for this column is an ordered factor.
The code below shows how I'm creating the chart/animation:
snow_plot <- snow_depth %>% plot_ly(
x = ~year,
y = ~avg_depth,
color = ~avg_temp,
frame = ~month,
text = ~paste('<i>Month</i>: ', month_char,
'<br><b>Avg. Depth</b>: ', avg_depth,
'<br><b>Avg. Temp</b>: ', avg_temp),
hoverinfo = 'text',
type = 'bar'
)
snow_plot
This code generates a plot that animates well and looks like this:
What I'd like to do is change the labels on the slider so instead of numbers, it shows the three letter month abbreviation. I've tried switching the frame to ~month_char which is the ordered factor of three letter month abbreviations. What I end up with, isn't right at all:
The data frame looks like:
I fear, with the current implementation of animation sliders in R's plotly API the desired behaviour can't be realized. This is due to the fact, that no custom animation steps are allowed (this includes the labels). Please see (and support) my GitHub FR for further information.
This is the best I was currently able to come up with:
library(plotly)
DF <- data.frame(
year = rep(seq(1980L, 2020L), each = 12),
month = rep(1:12, 41),
month_char = rep(factor(month.abb), 41),
avg_depth = runif(492)
)
fig <- DF %>%
plot_ly(
x = ~year,
y = ~avg_depth,
frame = ~paste0(sprintf("%02d", month), " - ", month_char),
type = 'bar'
) %>%
animation_slider(
currentvalue = list(prefix = "Month: ")
)
fig
(Edit from OP) Here's the resulting graph using the above code:
I am new to R and Shiny and have a problem that I have not been able to solve for hours.
I have a dataset from which I display the daily consumption of coffee on a dashboard, which works very well. The plot is a ggplot geom_line chart.
But now I want to be able to change the time period with two sliders.
The sliders I have also managed to do, but the plot does not change when the slider is moved.
I also suspect that I have an error with the date format.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help

I appreciate your help
As noted by #Kevin, you need to use input$DatesMerge[1] and input$DatesMerge[2] when subsetting your data. For clarity, this can be done in a separate step. Try something like this in your server:
output$plot_daycount = renderPlot({
DatesMerge <- as.Date(input$DatesMerge, format = "%Y-%m-%d")
sub_data <- subset(daylicounter, day >= DatesMerge[1] & day <= DatesMerge[2])
ggplot(sub_data, aes(x = day, y = coffee.count)) +
geom_line(color = "orange", size = 1) +
scale_x_date(breaks = "3 month", date_labels = "%d-%m-%Y")
})
Edit Additional question from OP was asked:
Why does my date format look normal with str(coffeedata) but with
head(coffeedata) the date is just a number?
renderTable uses xtable which may have trouble with dates. You can get your dates to display correctly by converting to character first (one option):
output$rawdata = renderTable({
coffeedata$Date <- as.character(coffeedata$Date)
head(coffeedata)
})
output$dayconsumption = renderTable({
daylicounter$day <- as.character(daylicounter$day)
head(daylicounter)
})
See other questions on this topic:
as.Date returns number when working with Shiny
R shiny different output between renderTable and renderDataTable
Welcome to R and Shiny, you are off to a great start. Few things:
I don't recommend you using = in shiny, majority of the cases you want to use <-
To simplify code, no reason to add a variable like DatesMerge. It adds no value (at least in the code above)
For a dual slider, you need to tell shiny which end to pick. input$DatesMerge doesn't mean anything but input$DatesMerge[1] does.
When asking for help, it is always better to add a subset of data within the code itself. You tend to get more help and it is easier to run for the person trying to help (like me I was too lazy to download the file and place it in a folder so I didn't run it)
You need to account for a range of dates in your slider when subsetting the data; you also for the , when subsetting the data.
ggplot(daylicounter[daylicounter %in% input$DatesMerge[1]:input$DatesMerge[2],], aes(daylicounter$day, daylicounter$coffee.count)) +
geom_line(color = "orange", size = 1) +
scale_x_date(breaks = "3 month",
date_labels = "%d-%m-%Y")
I'm creating a notebook with shiny and i have found the following issue when using the add-on plotly:
Data_xts=Data_xts() #this return a reactive data.frame. fm_timeseries is already formated as POSIXct and has the following format : YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss
plot_ly(x=Data_xts$fm_timeseries, y = Data_xts$Open,name='Stock Prices',showlegend = FALSE) %>%
add_trace(x=Data_xts$fm_timeseries, y = Data_xts$UKX_open, yaxis='y2') %>%
add_trace(x=Data_xts$fm_timeseries, y = Data_xts$TotalNews, yaxis='y3') %>%
layout(yaxis=list(title='Stock Price'),
yaxis2=list(title='Market Index', overlaying = "y",side='right',position=.97,tickfont = list(size = 8)),
yaxis3=list(title='Total News', overlaying = "y",side='right',anchor='free', tickfont = list(size = 8),position=1),
xaxis=list(title='Time Series') , showlegend = TRUE)
Here is a couple of issues I'm founding:
Time stamp don't show as timestamp (I even tried the simple example from plotly and R and verified that it doesn't work on Shiny). In fact timestamp is categorize as string and the xaxis tittle can't be seen as a result of this.
Challenges getting the yaxis2 and 3 in the same axes without overlapping with the chart itself.
To solve this wonder if there is a format that we can pass into the xaxis (tried type='date' but didn't work) and if there is any type of auto-arrange on the yaxis on the right (2 and 3).
Try using "factor".
So in your example:
plot_ly(x= ~factor(Data_xts$fm_timeseries), y = ~Data_xts$Open, name='Stock Prices',showlegend = FALSE)
