An add-in to easily create plots with ggplot2

Select data to be used and map variables to aesthetics to produce a chart, customize common elements and get code to reproduce the chart.

esquisser(
  data = NULL,
  controls = c("labs", "parameters", "appearance", "filters", "code"),
  viewer = getOption(x = "esquisse.viewer", default = "dialog")
)

Arguments

data: a data.frame, you can pass a data.frame explicitly to the function, otherwise you'll have to choose one in global environment.
controls: Controls menu to be displayed. Use NULL to hide all menus.
viewer: Where to display the gadget: "dialog", "pane" or "browser" (see viewer).

Value

NULL. You can view code used to produce the chart, copy it or insert it in current script.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
# Launch with :
esquisser(iris)
# If in RStudio it will be launched by default in dialog window
# If not, it will be launched in browser

# Launch esquisse in browser :
esquisser(iris, viewer = "browser")

# You can set this option in .Rprofile :
options("esquisse.viewer" = "viewer")
# or
options("esquisse.viewer" = "browser")

# esquisse use shiny::runApp
