R_demo

r r project statistics visualization computation calculations maths stats javascript widgets google maps google charts

R_demo demonstrates common uses of R to produce advanced and/or interactive graphs and reports in web pages within a full Wiki CMS/Groupware site, through the usage of PluginR (https://doc.tiki.org/PluginR).

There are a few sets of pages already created to show off some possibilities, as well as to allow quick starting new users into customizing their more complex interfaces to run their R scripts and packages through a nice Web 2.0 GUI:
  • Demo1_simple_test. Testing simple R commands to test that the installation went fine
    • Simple Text output
    • Simple graphical output
  • Demo2_params. Testing several other commands
    • Tiki Dynamic variable usage
    • Parsing html code
    • Wikisyntax param
  • Demo3_interface. Testing the process of working with datasets for a script to use them as parameters. The interface is organized in 4 tabas:
    1. Listing raw datasets
      • This first tab uses the standard output of Plugin TrackerList to display the data stored in the database of datasets ("Tracker" or items, in Tiki terms).
    2. Showing the results after the dataset is run
      • This part uses a Pretty Tracker with the (smarty) template in a wiki page, instead of just the standard output of Plugin TrackerList used in the first tab. Thus, the display is controlled by the (smarty) template "r_test3_template01", and it can be much more customized with the Wysiwyg editor in Tiki.
    3. Dataset edition (provided that a dataset is selected in the first tab)
      • This third tab allows the user to edit the parameters for the graph generated by the R script, by means of using Plugin Tracker to preload a previous item when requested (itemId value must be assigned in the url).
    4. Inserting new datasets
      • This last tab allows to insert new items, by means of using Plugin Tracker, despite the fact that the page has already loaded a previous item or not.
  • Demo4_export. Testing the production of a basic image with svg and pdf export. (in the future, extended with the help of other R packages)
  • Demo5_wordcloud. Testing some nice graphs from R. You might need some extra packages for R:
    • Word-cloud art
  • Demo6_googleVis. Testing some nice interactive graphs
    • Created through the googleVis package. You might need some extra R packages.
  • Demo7_plot.ly. Testing Plot.ly (see https://plot.ly/ ). The Plotly R graphing library allows you to create and share interactive, publication-quality plots in your browser. Plotly is also built for working together, and makes it easy to post graphs and data publicly with a URL or privately to collaborators.
  • Demo8_customoutput. Testing the customoutput parameter.
    • Introduced in PluginR v0.87, customoutput produces no hardcoded graphical output from PluginR, but leaves the R script inside the plugin to manage chart generation. In a later step, image is displayed with either img for images, or mediaplayer for pdf's, videos, etc.
  • Demo9_rcharts. Testing a series of examples of nice charts using rCharts and the corresponding javascript library used in each case. rCharts is an R package to create, customize and publish interactive javascript visualizations from R using a familiar lattice style plotting interface.
  • Demo10_clickme. Testing the clickme package from Nacho Caballero. Clickme is an R package that lets you create interactive visualizations in the browser directly from your R session.
  • Demo11_animation. Showing a way to produce a self-moving chart with data from different decades using the ggplot2 and animation packages.
  • Demo12_ecoengine. Testing the ecoengine package from rOpenSci, which is a collaborative effort to develop R-based tools for facilitating Open Science. Some distribution maps is generated for a species using LeafletJS, as well as a photo gallery created from a queried species for demostration purposes.
  • Demo13_parse_body. Testing the parse_body param from PluginR v 0.81.2+, which facilitates a better communication between data collected in trackers andits usage in R
  • Demo14_webshot. Testing the webshot package. Webshot makes it easy to take screenshots of web pages (all or sections defined by css selectors) from R, and save them as png or pdf. (requires PhantomJS, installable from within the webshot R package).
  • Demo15_pivottables. Testing the rpivotTable package, which is an R htmlwidget built around the pivottable library. PivotTable.js is a Javascript Pivot Table library with drag'n'drop functionality built on top of jQuery/jQueryUI and written in CoffeeScript by Nicolas Kruchten at Datacratic. It is available under an MIT license.
