The mschart package provides a framework for easily create
charts for ‘Microsoft PowerPoint’ presentations and ‘Microsoft Word’
documents. It has to be used with package officer
that will produce the charts in new or existing PowerPoint or Word
documents. With ‘Microsoft Charts’, the data is integrated into the
document and linked to the chart. The result can be edited, annotated
and resized. If the data is updated in the document, the chart is also
updated.
This is a basic example which shows you how to create a scatter plot.
library(mschart)
scatter <-
ms_scatterchart(
data = iris, x = "Sepal.Length",
y = "Sepal.Width", group = "Species"
)
scatter <- chart_settings(scatter, scatterstyle = "marker")Then use package officer to send the object as a
chart.
library(officer)
doc <- read_pptx()
doc <- add_slide(doc, layout = "Title and Content", master = "Office Theme")
doc <- ph_with(doc, value = scatter, location = ph_location_fullsize())
print(doc, target = "example.pptx")At any moment, you can type
print(your_chart, preview = TRUE) to preview the chart in a
temporary PowerPoint file. This requires to have a PowerPoint Viewer
installed on the machine.
You can get the development version from GitHub:
devtools::install_github("ardata-fr/mschart")Or the latest version on CRAN:
install.packages("mschart")When you file a bug report, please spend some time making it easy for me to follow and reproduce. The more time you spend on making the bug report coherent, the more time I can dedicate to investigate the bug as opposed to the bug report.
