Overview

About

Maintained by Benoit ThieurmelCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Provides an R interface for using 'AmCharts' Library. Based on 'htmlwidgets', it provides a global architecture to generate 'JavaScript' source code for charts. Most of classes in the library have their equivalent in R with S4 classes; for those classes, not all properties have been referenced but can easily be added in the constructors. Complex properties (e.g. 'JavaScript' object) can be passed as named list. See examples at https://datastorm-open.github.io/introduction_ramcharts/ and https://www.amcharts.com/ for more information about the library. The package includes the free version of 'AmCharts' Library. Its only limitation is a small link to the web site displayed on your charts. If you enjoy this library, do not hesitate to refer to this page https://www.amcharts.com/online-store/ to purchase a licence, and thus support its creators and get a period of Priority Support. See also https://www.amcharts.com/about/ for more information about 'AmCharts' company.

Install

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

install.packages("rAmCharts", 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("datastorm-open/rAmCharts")

Development version from datastorm-open/rAmCharts. 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-ramcharts

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-rAmCharts

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-rAmCharts

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.
