rCharts
http://rcharts.io
rCharts is an R package to create, customize and publish interactive javascript visualizations from R using a familiar lattice style plotting interface. It has been created by Ramnath Vaidyanathan. See more here: http://rcharts.io/Below you will find a series of examples of nice charts using
rCharts and the corresponding javascript library used in each case.Page contents:
Introduction
For these examples to work in a website, you need to change the location of the library they look for. By default they are set to use the library included in the R package rCharts, but the webserver usually can't access directly those libraries, since they are out of its reach. To avoid this issue, we can create an alias in the apache configuration for the website.You need to open the apache configuration file, whch might be located at
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default (adapt to your case)Command to open the file for edition in a shell as root
Copy to clipboard
nano /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default
Portion to add to /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default or equivalent for your site
Copy to clipboard
Alias /rcharts_libraries/ "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rCharts/libraries/" <Directory "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rCharts/libraries/"> Options All AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
Then you can save it (-+Ctrl+X+- in nano editor)
The whole configuration file for the site should look like the example below (adapt it to your case):
Example of configuration file for the website
Copy to clipboard
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@example.com DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Satisfy Any Allow from all </Directory> Alias /rcharts_libraries/ "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rCharts/libraries/" <Directory "/usr/local/lib/R/site-library/rCharts/libraries/"> Options All AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg. LogLevel warn CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined </VirtualHost>
Then restart the webserver (adapt to your case):
Command to restart apache2 in GNU/Linux boxes as root
Copy to clipboard
service apache2 restart
At this time you can already use the javascript and css files provided in the package rCharts from your R scripts in Tiki, with the base url http://example.com/rcharts_libraries/
