Break from Unpaid Open Source

Fri, 09 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0000

break from unpaid open source break from unpaid open source December 09, 2016 Motivations Conclusion Today I start my day differently. I start my day writing this very difficult post instead of open source code. For 2017, I plan to take a break from all unpaid open source contributions. Saying all this is especially difficult knowing that there are others out there, namely CRAN team and Mike Bostock who do far more than I.

d3 Hierarchy as Nested Tibble

Mon, 28 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0000

d3 hierarchy as nested tibble d3 hierarchy as nested tibble November 28, 2016 d3r Shows Us Still No Easier to Query After Jenny Bryan’s fantastic PlotCon presentation Data Rectangling, I started thinking what would a d3.js hierarchy look like as a nested tibble. d3r Shows Us I had forgotten that in d3r::d3_nest I provided an argument to get the tibble instead of the JSON, so getting an example on your machine should be fairly simple (let me know if it isn’t).

Week21 - Radial Tree Week21 - Radial Tree August 24, 2016 htmlwidgets News This Week This Week’s Widget - radialNetwork Quick Installation Example Thanks htmlwidgets News This Week Avid readers already know, but for all the newest and updated htmlwidgets, just do this Github search, and you’ll quickly get up to date. This Week’s Widget - radialNetwork When I saw Wm Leler demonstrate his radial tree on this d3.

Look Ma No R

Thu, 04 Aug 2016 00:00:00 +0000

htmlwidgets in effect are reusable HTML/JS/CSS components (think simple Polymer or WebComponents) I don’t recommend it, but if we wanted to use an htmlwidget with no R, it is fairly straightforward. Even if you decided not to do this, I think it will be helpful in your journey to htmlwidgets mastery. We’ll use the simple but powerful jsonedit from the listviewer package. Its JavaScript binding is very sparse, so I hope it will be a good subject.

Comic Options for R Output

Wed, 20 Jul 2016 00:00:00 +0000

Comic Options for R Output Comic Options for R Output Kent Russell 2016-07-20 In this Ted Talk and his book Understanding Comics, Scott McCloud discusses his theory of iconic identification. In his theory he claims that we identify more with cartoons and icons than realistic images and words. Assuming this is true and assuming that it can be applied to output from R, some package authors have offered some packages to cartoonize R graphs.

Week51 - functionplotR

Wed, 30 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week51 - functionplotR Week51 - functionplotR December 30, 2015 This Week’s Widget - functionplotR Installation Examples One Simple Equation Multiple Simple Functions With Some Options Function with Derivative Thanks This Week’s Widget - functionplotR Mauricio Poppe has built a really amazing 2d d3-js-based function plotter function-plot. I think it has all sorts of helpful uses in R, so functionplotR will be this week’s htmlwidget. Note, I released a couple days early.

Week52 - d3kit_timeline Week52 - d3kit_timeline December 30, 2015 This Week’s Widget - d3kit_timeline Installation Examples Simple Example Use With xts Thanks The clock is ticking rapidly–so rapidly that I won’t be able to do the full year summary, meta-filled post that I had hoped in this final week of the htmlwidget/week project started with this January 2, 2015 post Can I Commmit?. I’ll stick with the traditional post format for the release of week 52’s widget d3kit_timeline.

Week50 - summarytrees Week50 - summarytrees December 16, 2015 Bleeding Edge - crosstalk This Week’s Widget - summarytrees_htmlwidget Installation Examples Thanks Bleeding Edge - crosstalk I feel obligated to mention this again. If you want to get a preview of the exciting changes for htmlwidgets, be sure to check out htmlwidgets issue 86. Thanks to Joe Cheng from RStudio for taking the lead on this.

Week48 - stmCorrViz Week48 - stmCorrViz December 01, 2015 This Week’s Widget - stmCorrViz | htmlwidgetized stmCorrViz Quick Installation Example in a Presentation Thanks This Week’s Widget - stmCorrViz | htmlwidgetized stmCorrViz Way back in week 13, I html-widgetized stmBrowser which pairs with stm and stmCorrViz. Scott Jacobs very kindly asked if I could also html-widgetize stmCorrViz, and I said yes. While at it, I also fixed a couple bugs in stmBrowser.

Then ggvis sort of eliminated the need to learn the internals of vega.

Week46 - colaR

Thu, 19 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week46 - colaR Week46 - colaR November 19, 2015 This Week’s Widget - colaR Installation Examples igraph and V8 htmltools Thanks This Week’s Widget - colaR Tim Dwyer makes really great stuff. As one recent example, see this video preview of HOLA: Human-like Orthogonal Network Layout which won Best Infovis Paper at VIS 2015. Unfortunately though, Dwyer does not make his great stuff in R. This is where what I call super-isomorphism with htmlwidgets and Jeroen Ooms’ V8 becomes very handy.

Week45 - shotsignR

Fri, 13 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week45 - shotsignR Week45 - shotsignR November 13, 2015 Some Love for queryBuildR This Week’s Widget - shotsignR Installation Examples Basketball Example Non-basketball Usage Thanks Some Love for queryBuildR Somehow I missed queryBuildR when it was released. I strongly recommend checking it out. This Week’s Widget - shotsignR Peter Beshai created beautiful d3.js Shooting Signatures to visualize basketball shooting performance. It was definitely love at first sight for me.

Fri, 06 Nov 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week44 - tooltipsterR Week44 - tooltipsterR November 06, 2015 Only 7 More Weeks This Week’s Widget - tooltipsterR Installation Examples Easy With Formattable With SVG Thanks Only 7 More Weeks As I typed “Week 44” in the title of the post, I realized the year is almost done. I do not anticipate another widget-a-week commitment next year, but I certainly will make some commitment. Let me know if you have ideas.

Week43 - emoji

Mon, 26 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week43 - emoji Week43 - emoji October 26, 2015 This Week’s Widget - twemoji Installation Examples Know the Unicode Find with remoji Thanks This Week’s Widget - twemoji For this week’s htmlwidget, all I needed was an excuse, and that excuse came in the form of a tweet by Jenny Bryan. Of course, we need an emoji htmlwidget. Since remoji already brings some emoji power to R, I thought I would try to piggyback on it and reduce the future number of R packages by at least 1.

Week42 - adjacency matrix

Thu, 22 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week42 - adjacency matrix Week42 - adjacency matrix October 22, 2015 This Week’s Widget - adjacency matrix Installation Examples Thanks This Week’s Widget - adjacency matrix This beautiful little adjacency matrix by Mike Bostock inspired this Github issue/request. At the beginning of the week, I started banging away on a htmlwidget extension to networkD3 using Elijah Meeks’ d3.layout.adjacencyMatrix. The deeper I got the more I realized that an adjacency matrix really is just a subset of a heatmap, so then I started replicating Matthew Lincoln’s fine Shiny/ggplot2 adjacency matrix with RStudio/Joe Cheng’s d3heatmap.

Week41 - railroadR

Fri, 16 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week41 - railroadR Week41 - railroadR October 16, 2015 This Week’s Widget - railroadR Installation Examples UNICODE-RANGE SQL Thanks This Week’s Widget - railroadR Railroad diagrams are generally used in computer science to represent language syntax or grammar. However, I just know these can be used for other purposes. I just have not had the time for creativity or inspiration. Please, please let me know if you have ideas.

Week40 - networkD3 0.2.1 -> 0.2.4

Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week40 - networkD3 0.2.1 -> 0.2.4 Week40 - networkD3 0.2.1 -> 0.2.4 October 08, 2015 This Week’s Widget - networkD3 Installation Examples diagonal/radialNetwork sankeyNetwork Thanks This Week’s Widget - networkD3 networkD3 from Christopher Gandrud is the second most popular htmlwidget based on Github stars, so I think it is important that it stays in elite shape. Last week networkD3 hit CRAN with version 0.2.4, so I’ll claim networkD3 as the htmlwidget of the week.

Week39 - timelineR

Fri, 02 Oct 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week39 - timelineR Week39 - timelineR October 02, 2015 This Week’s Widget - timelineR Installation Example Thanks This Week’s Widget - timelineR The stream of d3.js layouts and plugins has slowed considerably, so I got excited when I saw Elijah Meeks’ new d3.layout.timeline. This swimlane timeline layout fills a void for both the JavaScript and R world, so I thought let’s make an htmlwidget with it. I very creatively call it timelineR.

Week38 - datacomb

Mon, 28 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week38 - datacomb Week38 - datacomb September 28, 2015 This Week’s Widget - datacomb Installation Example Thanks This Week’s Widget - datacomb I was blown away when an August 21 @ChrisPolis tweet led me to this animated GIF. Then, I was even more delighted when I saw the magic word htmlwidget on the roadmap/todos. Just a month later thanks to magic/diligence of Chris Polis we can make a datacomb interactive table viewer in one-line of R.

Week37 - parsetR

Thu, 17 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week37 - parsetR Week37 - parsetR September 17, 2015 This Week’s Widget - parsetR Installation Examples + Vignette Thanks This Week’s Widget - parsetR As far as I know, ggparallel is the only way to make Robert Kosara’s parallel sets in R. While ggparallel does a very nice job, this ridiculously amazing interactive d3.js parallel sets implementation by Jason Davies needs a htmlwidget. When a JavaScript library is as well designed as d3-parsets, wrapping it as an htmlwidget can be very quick and straightforward.

Week36 - stockchartR

Thu, 10 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week36 - stockchartR Week36 - stockchartR September 10, 2015 This Week’s Widget - stockchartR Installation Examples Thanks This Week’s Widget - stockchartR I intentionally do not talk much finance here at Building Widgets, but for those who are unaware of TimelyPortfolio, finance pays the bills for me. Although d3.js was released in 2010 (see this first Github commit, we did not see robust finance-targeted d3.js visualization libraries until last year.

Week35 - gifrecordeR

Sat, 05 Sep 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week35 - gifrecordeR Week35 - gifrecordeR September 05, 2015 This Week’s Widget - gifrecordeR Installation Examples Thanks This Week’s Widget - gifrecordeR Animated GIFs are really useful for documenting, illustrating, sharing, and sometimes annoying. Yaron Noveh’s absolutely amazing gifw00t lets us record GIFs in the browser client-side, so if I wrap it in a htmlwidget I can record GIFs of my RStudio Viewer or Shiny session and share them with the world.

Week34 - Contribution Week

Sat, 29 Aug 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week34 - Contribution Week Week33 - Contribution Week August 29, 2015 This Week’s Widget - Contributions edgebundleR sunburstR Leaflet.measure Thanks This Week’s Widget - Contributions Since I make the rules for what counts as a htmlwidget, I’ll create this new rule. A series of contributions to existing htmlwidgets counts as an htmlwidget in the weekly series. This week I made contributions to edgebundleR, sunburstR, and leaflet. Thanks to the authors for all their work on these existing htmlwidgets and their willingness to accept my pull requests.

This week’s taucharts is a very fine case of why I set this rule. boB Rudis @hrbrmstr delighted me when he started to tackle the very well-designed TauCharts.

Week22 - Introductory Use of d3vennR

Fri, 05 Jun 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Week 22 - Introductory Use of d3vennR Introductory Use of d3vennR Kent Russell 2015-06-05 Venn diagrams are certainly not perfect. However, if you understand their limitations, Venn (Euler) diagrams can provide a useful way to provide context and overview. venn.js from Ben Frederickson makes creating Venn diagrams easy by doing the math to layout the sets and leveraging d3.js for rendering and interactivity. Install d3vennR is not on CRAN and probably never will be unless someone asks me to submit, so please use devtools::install_github() to install.

Since then, DiagrammeR’s author Rich Iannone has amazed me with his efforts to improve, grow, and document (truly something special) the package. DiagrammeR began with mermaid(mermaid.js) and then quickly added grViz(viz.js/graphviz) as two methods to both layout and render diagrams specified as text.
