How to include a plotly plot in a Rpres file? If you do it like in a normal Rmd file
Basic Plot
========================================================
```{r, echo=FALSE}
library(plotly)
plot_ly(economics, x = date, y = unemploy / pop)
```
The solution I came up with, which uses the possibility that Markdown can contain HTML:
Basic Plot
========================================================
```{r, results='hide', echo=FALSE}
library(plotly)
p = plot_ly(economics, x = date, y = unemploy / pop)
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(as.widget(p), file = "demo.html")
```
<iframe src="demo.html" style="position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%"></iframe>
But I am hoping for a somehow more elegant solution which does not use any additional files.

The following is a minimal example on how to include a plot_ly graph in an ioslides presentation, so it does not quite answer the question for Rpres, but provides an alternative.
The first slide displays a plot transformed from a ggplot into a plot_ly, preserving the ggplot style. The second slide displays a plot using plot_ly directly.

title: "Plot_ly demo"
date: "8 December 2016"
output: ioslides_presentation

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE)
```
## A simple plot_ly
```{r, fig.align='center', message = FALSE}
library(plotly)
df <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = (1:10)^2)
p <- ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y = y)) geom_line() labs(x = "X", y = "Y", title = "X and Y")
ggplotly(p)
```
## Another simple plot_ly
```{r, echo = FALSE, fig.align = 'center', message = FALSE}
plot_ly(df, x = x, y = y)
```

Had the same problem. When I executed slidify(index.Rmd)
, there was a message saying PhantomJS not found
, and suggesting me run webshot::install_phantomjs()
. So I did and the error was gone. However I still got no plotly interactive map output. It was blank.
Also tried the following code in terminal, which worked for some people but not for me. I got html file output, and there still wasn't a map. It comes from this post. It might work for you.
Rscript -e "library(knitr); library(rmarkdown);
rmarkdown::render('index.Rmd', output_file='index.html')"
I am sure it is plotly. Cause ggplots works fine.
Update:
Reinstalled/updated the wetshot package by running install.packages("webshot")
, then ran webshot::install_phantomjs()
again, then library(knitr); library(rmarkdown); rmarkdown::render('index.Rmd', output_file='index.html')
. It worked. The html file has a plotly map, though it doesn't appear in the Knitr preview window.
Update:
By adding the following code, I am able to display the map in the sides. Refer to this post.
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(as_widget(p), "p.html")
cat('<iframe src="./p.html" width=100% height=100% allowtransparency="true"> </iframe>')
Full context would be something listed below.
library(plotly)
cities <- readRDS("D:/R/data/cn_cities.rds")
cities <- cities[1:50,]
geo <- list(
scope = 'asia',
projection = list(type = 'Mercator'),
showland = TRUE,
landcolor = toRGB("gray85"),
countrycolor = toRGB("white"),
subunitcolor = toRGB("white"),
countrywidth = 1,
subunitwidth = 1)
p <- plot_geo(cities,
locationmode='CHN',
sizes=c(1, 200)) %>%
add_markers(x=~lng, y=~lat,
size=~sqrt(population),
hoverinfo="text",
text=~paste(city, "<br />", population)) %>%
layout(title='',
geo=geo)
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(as_widget(p), "p.html")
cat('<iframe src="./p.html" width=100% height=100% allowtransparency="true"> </iframe>')
