manipulate-package {manipulate} | R Documentation |
Interactive plotting functions for use within RStudio.
The manipulate
function accepts a plotting expression and a set of controls (e.g. slider
, picker
, checkbox
, or button
) which are used to dynamically change values within the expression. When a value is changed using its corresponding control the expression is automatically re-executed and the plot is redrawn.
For example, to create a plot that enables manipulation of a parameter using a slider control you could use syntax like this:
manipulate(plot(1:x), x = slider(1, 10))
After this code is executed the plot is drawn using an initial value of 1 for x
. A manipulator panel is also opened adjacent to the plot which contains a slider control used to change the value of x
from 1 to 10.
## Not run: ## Create a plot with a manipulator manipulate(plot(1:x), x = slider(5, 10)) ## Using more than one slider manipulate( plot(cars, xlim=c(x.min,x.max)), x.min=slider(0,15), x.max=slider(15,30)) ## Filtering data with a picker manipulate( barplot(as.matrix(longley[,factor]), beside = TRUE, main = factor), factor = picker("GNP", "Unemployed", "Employed")) ## Create a picker with labels manipulate( plot(pressure, type = type), type = picker("points" = "p", "line" = "l", "step" = "s")) ## Toggle boxplot outlier display using checkbox manipulate( boxplot(Freq ~ Class, data = Titanic, outline = outline), outline = checkbox(FALSE, "Show outliers")) ## Combining controls manipulate( plot(cars, xlim = c(x.min, x.max), type = type, axes = axes, ann = label), x.min = slider(0,15), x.max = slider(15,30, initial = 25), type = picker("p", "l", "b", "c", "o", "h", "s", "S", "n"), axes = checkbox(TRUE, "Draw Axes"), label = checkbox(FALSE, "Draw Labels")) ## End(Not run)
