Overview

About

Maintained by Bartosz SawickiCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗

There is a wide range of R packages created for data visualization, but still, there was no simple and easily accessible way to create clean and transparent charts - up to now. The 'tidycharts' package enables the user to generate charts compliant with International Business Communication Standards ('IBCS'). It means unified bar widths, colors, chart sizes, etc. Creating homogeneous reports has never been that easy! Additionally, users can apply semantic notation to indicate different data scenarios (plan, budget, forecast). What's more, it is possible to customize the charts by creating a personal color pallet with the possibility of switching to default options after the experiments. We wanted the package to be helpful in writing reports, so we also made joining charts in a one, clear image possible. All charts are generated in SVG format and can be shown in the 'RStudio' viewer pane or exported to HTML output of 'knitr'/'markdown'.

Install

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

install.packages("tidycharts", 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("MI2DataLab/tidycharts")

Development version from MI2DataLab/tidycharts. 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-tidycharts

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-tidycharts

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-tidycharts

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.
