Whereas I’m largely settled on ggplot2 for static plots, I’m all the time looking out for tactics to make interactive visualizations. echarts4r is one in all my new favourite packages for this. It’s intuitive, highly effective, and versatile.

The echarts4r bundle is an R wrapper for the echarts JavaScript library, an official Apache Software program Basis venture (it graduated from incubator standing in December). That helps me really feel assured I can depend on the JavaScript code underlying the R bundle.

So let’s check out echarts4r.

Bundle creator John Coene explains the fundamentals in a getting began web page:

Artificial intelligence developers have always had a “Wizard of Oz” air about them. Behind a magisterial curtain, they perform amazing feats that seem to bestow algorithmic brains on the computerized scarecrows of this world.

AI’s Turing test focused on the wizardry needed to trick us into thinking that scarecrows might be flesh-and-blood humans (if we ignore the stray straws bursting out of their britches). However, I agree with the argument recently expressed by Rohit Prasad, Amazon’s head scientist for Alexa, who argues that Alan Turing’s “imitation game” framework is no longer relevant as a grand challenge for AI professionals.

Hello. I’m Sharon Machlis at IDG Communications, right here with Episode 56 of Do Extra With R: Plot in R with echarts4r.

ggplot2 remains to be my go-to for static plots. However I’m all the time looking out for brand new methods to make interactive graphs, tables, and maps. echarts4r is one among my new favourite packages: It’s intuitive, highly effective, and versatile. And, as an editor, I recognize well-thought-out documentation.

The bundle is an R wrapper for the echarts JavaScript library. Javascript echarts is now an official Apache Software program Basis challenge, it graduated from incubator standing in December.
