‘d3po’ worked examples

Load the ‘d3po’ package and also ‘sf’ (geomaps) and ‘igraph’ (networks):

These examples are organized by chart type. Each section is self-contained and can be run independently.

A ‘d3po’ object can be created with the following minimal syntax or variations of it depending on the chart type:
