I have four goals:
Connect to a Postgresql database and pull some data
Gloss up a table with some colour and formatting
Include an image (company logo) above it
Export as PDF
1 and 2 are easy enough and 4 seems possible even if not convenient, but I don't think R was designed to add and position images. I've attached some sample code of how I envision creating the table, and then a mockup of what I think the final version might look like. Can anyone advise on the best way to accomplish this?
Sample data:
data(mtcars)
df <- head(mtcars)
HTML approach: flexible and portable to other apps
library(tableHTML)
html_table <- df %>%
tableHTML(rownames = FALSE, border = 0) %>%
add_css_row(css = list(c('font-family', 'text-align'), c('sans-serif', 'center'))) %>%
add_css_header(css = list(c('background-color', 'color'), c('#173ACC', 'white')), headers = 1:ncol(df))
Grob approach: Creating a ggplot-like image. I've seen recommendations to use grid.arrange to place an image on top and export as a PDF
library(ggpubr)
tbody.style = tbody_style(color = "black",
fill = "white", hjust=1, x=0.9)
grob_table <- ggtexttable(df, rows = NULL,
theme = ttheme(
colnames.style = colnames_style(color = "white", fill = "#173ACC"),
tbody.style = tbody.style
)
)
grid.arrange(table_image)
You are almost there. You just need to import your image (could be png, jpeg or svg) then pass it to grid::rasterGrob. Use the options in rasterGrob to adjust size etc. Then pass your grob table to gridExtra::grid.arrange
logo_imported <- png::readPNG(system.file("img", "Rlogo.png", package="png"), TRUE)
lg <- grid::rasterGrob(logo_imported)
gridExtra::grid.arrange(lg, grob_table)
You can then either render this to pdf by adding it to an rmarkdown report (probably best), or you can save directly to pdf via
gridExtra::grid.arrange(lg, grob_table)
pdf(file = "My Plot.pdf",
width = 4, # The width of the plot in inches
height = 4)

I used formattable package in R to create a conditionally colored table rendered in the viewer as an html page (This is the link the the forum response that helped me to do this (thanks for the responder!): How to conditionally color table elements using formattable and color_tile?). I want to save it exactly like if I click export and save as a web page within the viewer.
I am trying to save the html page seen in the Viewer window with the conditional coloring. I've tried the two solutions here but am not able to save with their colors still present:
Save View() output of RStudio as html
Save html result to a txt or html file
TLDR: I want to save the output from the code below (Credit to Ruth Gg) with the colors still present basically via code not with the click and point button within viewer.
Here is the code to make the table I am trying to save from the previous StackOverflow forum:
library(formattable)
# Set custom colors
green <- "#71CA97"
red <- "#ff7f7f"
# Make example table
col1 <- c(1.2, 4.2, 5.6, 7.1)
col2 <- c(5.0, 1.3, 10.3, 6.0)
col3 <- c(4.7, 6.3, 1.5, 6.3)
mydata <- data.frame(col1, col2, col3)
# Define color_tile_mean function
color_tile_mean <- function (...) {
formatter("span", style = function(x) {
style(display = "block",
padding = "0 4px",
`border-radius` = "4px",
`background-color` = ifelse(x < mean(x) , red, green)) # Remember to change the colors!
})}
# Use it just like color_tile but without colors
formattable(mydata, align=c("c", "c", "c"),list(
col1=color_tile_mean(),
col2=color_tile_mean(),
col3=color_tile_mean()
)
)
Here is one of the packages I tried to use:
library(formattable)
# Set custom colors
green <- "#71CA97"
red <- "#ff7f7f"
# Make example table
col1 <- c(1.2, 4.2, 5.6, 7.1)
col2 <- c(5.0, 1.3, 10.3, 6.0)
col3 <- c(4.7, 6.3, 1.5, 6.3)
mydata <- data.frame(col1, col2, col3)
# Define color_tile_mean function
color_tile_mean <- function (...) {
formatter("span", style = function(x) {
style(display = "block",
padding = "0 4px",
`border-radius` = "4px",
`background-color` = ifelse(x < mean(x) , red, green)) # Remember to change the colors!
})}
bboop <- formattable(mydata, align=c("c", "c", "c"),list(
col1=color_tile_mean(),
col2=color_tile_mean(),
col3=color_tile_mean()
))
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(widget = bboop, file = f)
#f is string of filepath
Error when trying to use htmlwidgets::saveWidget:
Error in .getNamespace(pkg) :

Does anyone have any advice? Sorry this is long. I wanted to be thorough.
I am using R Markdown to create an html file for regression results tables, which are produced by stargazer and lfe in a code chunk.
library(lfe); library(stargazer)
data <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = rnorm(10), z = rnorm(10))
result <- stargazer(felm(y ~ x + z, data = data), type = 'html')
I create a html file win an inline code r result after the chunk above. However, a bunch of commas appear at the top of the table.
When I check the html code, I see almost every </tr> is followed by a comma.
How can I delete these commas?
Maybe not what you are looking for exactly but I am a huge fan of modelsummary. I knit to HTML to see how it looks and then usually knit to pdf. The modelsummary equivalent would look something like this
library(lfe)
library(modelsummary)
data = data.frame(x = 1:10, y = rnorm(10), z = rnorm(10))
results = felm(y ~ x + z, data = data)
modelsummary(results)
There are a lot of ways to customize it through kableExtra and other packages. The documentation is really good. Here is kind of a silly example
library(kableExtra)
modelsummary(results,
coef_map = c("x" = "Cool Treatment",
"z" = "Confounder",
"(Intercept)" = "(Intercept)")) %>%
row_spec(1, background = "#F5ABEA")
I would like to be able to add interactive shiny elements into a website. My HTML skills are not up to speed to make fancy websites from scratch. Google allows you to make nice slick well functioning websites fast, using sites.google.com.
I was wondering if it is possible to add R Shiny elements into a sites.google.com site.
For example, it is possible to put
library(plotly)
trace_0 <- rnorm(100, mean = 5)
trace_1 <- rnorm(100, mean = 0)
trace_2 <- rnorm(100, mean = -5)
x <- c(1:100)
data <- data.frame(x, trace_0, trace_1, trace_2)
p <- plot_ly(data, x = ~x, y = ~trace_0, name = 'trace 0', type = 'scatter', mode = 'lines') %>%
add_trace(y = ~trace_1, name = 'trace 1', mode = 'lines+markers') %>%
add_trace(y = ~trace_2, name = 'trace 2', mode = 'markers')
into https://sites.google.com/view/shinytest ?
EDIT: I read that in Shiny you can build a 'raw' HTML UI instead of a ShinyUI (shiny.rstudio.com/articles/html-ui.html). Would it be possible to extract the HTML from an existing site (e.g. the sites.google site from the example and keep all its functionality) and start using that as a base HTML UI in which Shiny elements can be added (and thususing the server part as back-end)?
I have a script which allows me to generate a map with with "R for leaflet" :
library(htmlwidgets)
library(raster)
library(leaflet)
# PATHS TO INPUT / OUTPUT FILES
projectPath = "path"
#imgPath = paste(projectPath,"data/cea.tif", sep = "")
#imgPath = paste(projectPath,"data/o41078a1.tif", sep = "") # bigger than standard max size (15431804 bytes is greater than maximum 4194304 bytes)
imgPath = paste(projectPath,"/test.tif", sep = "")
outPath = paste(projectPath, "/leaflethtmlgen.html", sep="")
# load raster image file
r <- raster(imgPath)
# reproject the image, if necessary
#crs(r) <- sp::CRS("+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs")
# color palette, which is interpolated ?
pal <- colorNumeric(c("#FF0000", "#666666", "#FFFFFF"), values(r),
na.color = "transparent")
# create the leaflet widget
m <- leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
addRasterImage(r, colors=pal, opacity = 0.9, maxBytes = 123123123) %>%
addLegend(pal = pal, values = values(r), title = "Test")
# save the generated widget to html
# contains the leaflet widget AND the image.
saveWidget(m, file = outPath, selfcontained = FALSE, libdir = 'leafletwidget_libs')
My problem is that this is generating a html file and I need this map to be dyanamic. For example, when a user click on some html button which is not integrate on the map, I want to add a rectangle on the map. Any solutions would be welcome...
Leaflet itself does not provide the interactive functionality you are looking for. One solution is to use shiny, which is a web application framework for R. From simple R code, it generates a web page, and runs R on the server-side to respond to user interaction. It is well documented, has a gallery of examples, and a tutorial to get new users started.
It works well with leaflet. One of the examples on the shiny web site uses it, and also includes a link to the source code.
Update
Actually, if simple showing/hiding of elements is enough, leaflet alone will suffice with the use of groups. From the question it's not very clear how dynamic you need it to be.
I have a shiny application that allows my user to explore a dataset. The idea is that the user explores the dataset, and any interesting things the user finds he will share with his client via email. I don't know in advance how many things the user will find interesting. So, next to each table or chart I have an "add this item to the report" button, which isolates the current view and adds it to a reactiveValues list.
Now, what I want to do is the following:
Loop through all the items in the reactiveValues list,
Generate some explanatory text describing the item (This text should preferably be formatted HTML/markdown, rather than code comments)
Display the item
Capture the output of this loop as HTML
Display this HTML in Shiny as a preview
write this HTML to a file
knitr seems to do exactly the reverse of what I want - where knitr allows me to add interactive shiny components in an otherwise static document, I want to generate HTML in shiny (maybe using knitr, I don't know) based on static values the user has created.
I've constructed a minimum not-working example below to try to indicate what I would like to do. It doesn't work, it's just for demonstration purposes.
ui = shinyUI(fluidPage(
title = "Report generator",
sidebarLayout(
sidebarPanel(textInput("numberinput","Add a number", value = 5),
actionButton("addthischart", "Add the current chart to the report")),
mainPanel(plotOutput("numberplot"),
htmlOutput("report"))
)
))
server = shinyServer(function(input, output, session){
#ensure I can plot
library(ggplot2)
#make a holder for my stored data
values = reactiveValues()
values$Report = list()
#generate the plot
myplot = reactive({
df = data.frame(x = 1:input$numberinput, y = (1:input$numberinput)^2)
p = ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_line()
return(p)
})
#display the plot
output$numberplot = renderPlot(myplot())
# when the user clicks a button, add the current plot to the report
observeEvent(input$addthischart,{
chart = isolate(myplot)
isolate(values$Report <- c(values$Report,list(chart)))
})
#make the report
myreport = eventReactive(input$addthischart,{
reporthtml = character()
if(length(values$Report)>0){
for(i in 1:length(values$Report)){
explanatorytext = tags$h3(paste(" Now please direct your attention to plot number",i,"\n"))
chart = values$Report[[i]]()
theplot = HTML(chart) # this does not work - this is the crux of my question - what should i do here?
reporthtml = c(reporthtml, explanatorytext, theplot)
# ideally, at this point, the output would be an HTML file that includes some header text, as well as a plot
# I made this example to show what I hoped would work. Clearly, it does not work. I'm asking for advice on an alternative approach.
}
}
return(reporthtml)
})
# display the report
output$report = renderUI({
myreport()
})
})
runApp(list(ui = ui, server = server))
You could capture the HTML of your page using html2canvas and then save the captured portion of the DOM as a image using this answer, this way your client can embed this in any HTML document without worrying about the origin of the page contents
