tidycharts

The goal of tidycharts is to enable R users to create charts inspired by International Business Communication Standards (IBCS). The plots are generated in SVG format, so embedding them in HTML documents is straight forward.

Installation

You can install the released version of tidycharts from CRAN with:

install.packages("tidycharts")

Development version from GitHub can be installed with:

devtools::install_github("MI2DataLab/tidycharts")

Example

How to create IBCS inspired charts using tidycharts?

library(tidycharts) # load the package

# create some data to visualize
df <- data.frame(months = month.abb[1:6],
                 values = round(5 + sin(1:6), 2))

# create chart in a form of character vector containing SVG content
column_chart(df, x = 'months', series = 'values')

You can easily create other type of plots, ie. lineplots:

line_chart_markers(df, x = df$months, series = 'values', series_labels = 'values')

Functions in tidycharts (0.1.3)

bar_chart_absolute_variance

Generate bar chart with absolute variance.

Generates a line plot with markers on chosen points. Allows only one point per time interval. To create a plot with many points within one time interval try `line_chart_dense`.

bar_chart_reference

Generates basic horizontal barchart with index on a given value. If more than one series is supplied, stacked barchart is generated.

bar_chart_normalized

Generates normalized horizontal barchart. If more than one series is supplied, stacked barchart is generated.

add_waterfall_bars

Add waterfall style bars to the column chart

Add IBCS compliant legend.

add bars to svg string

column_chart_waterfall

Generate column waterfall chart for visualizing contribution.

column_chart_relative_variance

Generate column chart with relative variance (in percents).

column_chart_waterfall_variance

Generate column waterfall chart with absolute variance.

Draw triangle and append it to svg string

set_scatter_colors

Change default colors of the scatter plots from the package.

restore_defaults

Restore default color and style settings.

Generates a scatter plot. If additional argument added, a bubble plot is generated.

line_chart_dense

Line chart with more points then categories on x-axis.

Change default styles for plots.

column_chart_absolute_variance

Generate column chart with absolute variance.

Generate basic column chart.

Generates basic horizontal barchart. If more than one series is supplied, stacked barchart is generated.

bar_chart_relative_variance

Generate bar chart with relative variance (in percents).

get_color_stacked

Function to get bar/area color for stacked plots.

bar_chart_waterfall

Generate horizontal waterfall chart.

Helper function to get the vector or column form df. If vector is passed it returns it. If name of column is passed, it returns the column as a vector.

Function to render SVG image as htmlwidget

Join SVG charts.

knit_print.tidychart

Printing in knitr reports

line_chart_normalized

Generates normalized areas (stacked lines) plot. If more than one series is supplied, stacked areas plot is generated.

line_chart_markers_reference

Generates line plot with markers on every value with index on a given value.

Change default colors of the package.

column_chart_grouped

Generate grouped column chart for visualizing up to 3 data series.

Save svg image.

column_chart_normalized

Generate column chart with normalization.

Function to render SVG as bitmap, used only in tests

Set margins size.

line_chart_markers

Generates line plot with markers on every value.

line_chart_dense_custom

More customizable version of `line_chart_dense`. User can choose the points to highlight.

line_chart_stacked

Generates areas (stacked lines) plot. If more than one series is supplied, stacked areas plot is generated.

print.tidychart

Explicitly draw tidychart

Reset margin values to package defaults.

Calculate string width in pixels

parse_time_series

Function to transfer data frame with time series values in wide format to format accepted by `line_chart_dense_custom`.

bar_chart_grouped

Generates grouped horizontal barchart with scenario triangles.

column_chart_reference

Generate column chart with reference line.
