myIO (version 1.2.0)

setLinked: Enable Linked Brushing via Crosstalk

Description

Connects the chart to a Crosstalk SharedData object so that brush selections propagate to other linked widgets.

Usage

setLinked(
  myIO,
  shared_data,
  mode = "both",
  filter = FALSE,
  key = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  cursor = FALSE,
  cursorAxis = "x"
)

Value

A modified myIO htmlwidget with Crosstalk linking.

Arguments

myIO

an htmlwidget object created by the myIO() function

shared_data

a crosstalk::SharedData object

mode

"source", "target", or "both" (default)

filter

if TRUE, Crosstalk filter operations hide non-matching points. Default FALSE (dim only).

key

Optional character vector of row keys. When supplied, overrides the keys extracted from shared_data. Useful when the SharedData keys do not match the column used for cross-chart matching.

group

Optional character string. When supplied, overrides the Crosstalk group name from shared_data, allowing manual control over which widgets share selections.

cursor

Logical. When TRUE, a hover in any linked chart draws a synchronized crosshair on every sibling chart in the same group. Default FALSE.

cursorAxis

Character. Which axis to sync: "x" (default), "y", or "xy". Only "x" is active in v1.2.

Examples

if (interactive() && requireNamespace("crosstalk", quietly = TRUE)) {
  shared <- crosstalk::SharedData$new(mtcars, key = ~rownames(mtcars))
  myIO() |>
    addIoLayer(
      type = "point", label = "scatter",
      data = shared$data(), mapping = list(x_var = "wt", y_var = "mpg")
    ) |>
    setLinked(shared)
}
