Overview

About

Maintained by Ellis HughesFirst published 2022-10-031 releasesCRAN page ↗

Record and generate a 'gif' of your 'R' sessions plots. When creating a visualization, there is inevitably iteration and refinement that occurs. Automatically save the plots made to a specified directory, previewing them as they would be saved. Then combine all plots generated into a 'gif' to show the plot refinement over time.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("camcorder", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-camcorder

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-camcorder

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
