myIO

An R package for creating interactive d3.js visualizations using htmlwidgets. Supports 17 chart types including scatter plots, line charts, bar charts, treemaps, and more — all composable through a piped API.

Live Demo

Installation

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("mortonanalytics/myIO")

Usage

Build plots by piping layers together with myIO() and addIoLayer():

library(myIO)

myIO() |>
  addIoLayer(
    type = "point",
    color = "#E69F00",
    label = "points",
    data = mtcars,
    mapping = list(x_var = "wt", y_var = "mpg")
  ) |>
  addIoLayer(
    type = "line",
    transform = "lm",
    color = "red",
    label = "trend",
    data = mtcars,
    mapping = list(x_var = "wt", y_var = "mpg")
  )

Supported Chart Types

Type	`type` value
Scatter plot	`"point"`
Line chart	`"line"`
Bar chart	`"bar"`
Grouped bar chart	`"groupedBar"`
Area chart	`"area"`
Histogram	`"histogram"`
Heatmap	`"heatmap"`
Candlestick	`"candlestick"`
Waterfall	`"waterfall"`
Sankey	`"sankey"`
Boxplot	`"boxplot"`
Violin	`"violin"`
Ridgeline	`"ridgeline"`
Donut chart	`"donut"`
Gauge chart	`"gauge"`
Hexbin plot	`"hexbin"`
Treemap	`"treemap"`

`addIoLayer()`

Argument	Description
`type`	Chart type (see table above)
`color`	Any CSS color string
`label`	Unique identifier for the layer
`data`	A data frame
`mapping`	List mapping variables, e.g. `list(x_var = "wt", y_var = "mpg")`
`transform`	Optional derived-data transform, e.g. `"identity"` or `"lm"`

Interactions

myIO charts are bidirectional — user actions flow back as structured data:

setBrush() — Rectangle select returns selected rows as data
setAnnotation() — Click to label data points; export annotations as CSV
setLinked() — Crosstalk linked brushing across multiple charts
setSlider() — Parameter sliders that trigger Shiny recomputation

Customization

Customize plots by chaining additional functions:

setAxisFormat() — Set d3.js axis formats and labels
setAxisLimits() — Set axis ranges
defineCategoricalAxis() — Define a categorical axis
setMargin() — Adjust chart margins
setColorScheme() — Apply a custom color palette
setTheme() — Set theme tokens (colors, font, background)
setTransitionSpeed() — Control animation duration
setToolTipOptions() — Configure tooltip behavior
setToggle() — Enable layer toggle controls
flipAxis() — Swap x and y axes
suppressAxis() — Hide axes
suppressLegend() — Hide the legend
dragPoints() — Enable draggable points
setReferenceLines() — Add reference lines
