Overview

About

Maintained by David ChazalvielCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗Issues ↗

Create a parallel coordinates plot, using `htmlwidgets` package and `d3.js`.

Changes in 0.4.0

Added:
new API for refColumnDim to specify the column used to determine the color used for each row
fire an event when refColumnDim is changed
new API for highlightRow to specify the highlighted row
fire an event when a row is highlighted
new adjusting attribute for cutoff event
fire an event when an axis orientation is changed
fire an event when a row is clicked
a named list can also be provided for categorical and cutoffs arguments
a list of column names can also be provided for inputColumns, keptColumns, histoVisibility and invertedAxes arguments
Changed:
*breaking change*, if eventInputId argument is NULL, it means no event is sent (before, it meant a default value was used)

Show all changes in 0.4.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.4.0

*breaking change*, cutoff event has a new attribute adjusting, TRUE when pointer is moving, changing a cutoff (before, the cutoff event was only sent once the mouse gesture had been completed)
javascript version of the graph is now available in three formats: iife, CommonJS and ECMAScript module
the default background color is changed from grey to white
sliders are more attractive (use a frame rather than a central axis; use rounded edges)
Fixed:
the area reserved to the plot is reduced to take into account the height of controlWidgets

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

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

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("drti/parallelplot")

Development version from drti/parallelplot. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-parallelplot

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

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-parallelPlot

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

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

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-parallelPlot

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
