iNZightPlots (version 2.12.4)

can.interact: Identify if a plot can be interactive

Description

Several iNZightPlots graphs have been enabled with custom interaction, while others make use of the automatic output of `plotly`. This function returns `TRUE` if the provided plot has interaction (as determined by iNZight), and `FALSE` otherwise.

Usage

can.interact(x)

# S3 method for default can.interact(x)

# S3 method for inzplotoutput can.interact(x)

# S3 method for ggplot can.interact(x)

Arguments

x

a plot object returned from a plotting function

Value

Logical to identify if there is an interactive version

Methods (by class)

  • default: Default interaction helper (always returns `FALSE`)

  • inzplotoutput: Graphs from `iNZightPlot()`, many of which have interaction enabled, but some do not (for example, hex plots)

  • ggplot: Those `iNZight*` plotting functions which return a `ggplot2` object and have been tested to work with plotly will be tagged as such; this is just a helper to check for the necessary attribute.

Details

Not that, while most `ggplot2` graphs can be passed to `plotly`, and even though we are using plot.ly directly for some of our ggplot2 graphs, we still only return `TRUE` if the graph was created by one of the packages in the iNZight collection.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
can.interact(iNZightPlot(Sepal.Length, data = iris))
