Launch the highdir Shiny GUI

Source: R/shiny-app.R
hd_app.Rd

Opens an interactive browser-based application for building figures with highcharter or ggplot2 without writing R code.

Usage

hd_app(return.app = FALSE)

Arguments

return.app

Logical. When deploying to server like Shiny.io to return the app object instead of launching it.

Value

Launches a Shiny app; does not return a value.

Details

The UI (inst/app/ui.R), server (inst/app/server.R) and shared setup (inst/app/global.R) live in inst/app/ so the folder can be deployed independently to Shiny Server or shinyapps.io.

Features

  • Upload datasets in any format supported by rio (CSV, XLSX, SPSS, Stata, RDS, …).

  • Choose geometry (column, line, scatter, arearange, pie), backend, axis variables, and group column.

  • Set title, subtitle, caption, colour palette, and HC theme.

  • Toggle JS hover band per figure.

  • Render on demand with the Draw button.

  • Download as HTML / JSON / PNG (highcharter) or PNG / SVG (ggplot2).

  • Copy the equivalent hd_make() call from the R code tab.
