Include googleVis chart in ioslides RStudio

I have a following chart:

library(googleVis)
df = data.frame(models = c("PLAT", "LC", "APC", "CBD", "M6", "M7", "M8"), val = 1:7)
Column <- gvisColumnChart(df)
plot(Column)

I would like to place it in ioslides in RStudio. Can anyone instruct me how to do it?

Solution

  • The key is to use options(gvis.plot.tag='chart') as part of your code, this instructs the plot() function to only output the html code for the chart. Here is the code:

    ## Another GoogleVis Slide

Some text in slide

```{r warning=FALSE, message=FALSE, results='asis', tidy=FALSE}
library(googleVis)

op <- options(gvis.plot.tag = 'chart')

df = data.frame(models = c("PLAT", "LC", "APC", "CBD", "M6", "M7", "M8"), val = 1:7)
Column <- gvisColumnChart(df)
plot(Column)
```

    You can find this by typing ?plot.gvis but I think it is not evident, so hopefully someone will save some time by reading this answer
