The {dygraphs} package is an R interface to the dygraphs JavaScript charting library. It provides rich facilities for charting time-series data in R, including:
-
Automatically plots xts time series objects (or any object convertible to xts).
-
Highly configurable axis and series display (including optional second Y-axis).
-
Rich interactive features including zoom/pan and series/point highlighting.
-
Display upper/lower bars (e.g. prediction intervals) around series.
-
Various graph overlays including shaded regions, event lines, and point annotations.
-
Use at the R console just like conventional R plots (via RStudio Viewer).
-
Seamless embedding within R Markdown documents and Shiny web applications.
You can install this package from CRAN, or the development version from GitHub:
# CRAN version
install.packages('dygraphs')
# Or Github version
if (!require('remotes')) install.packages('remotes')
remotes::install_github('rstudio/dygraphs')If you have an xts-compatible time-series object creating an interactive plot of it is as simple as this:
dygraph(nhtemp, main = "New Haven Temperatures")You can also further customize axes and series display as well as add interactive features like a range selector:
dygraph(nhtemp, main = "New Haven Temperatures") %>%
dyAxis("y", label = "Temp (F)", valueRange = c(40, 60)) %>%
dyOptions(fillGraph = TRUE, drawGrid = FALSE) %>%
dyRangeSelector()See the online documentation for the {dygraphs} package for additional details and examples.
