Using D3po with Tabler

D3po and Tabler are Open Source projects that keep government and NGO usage in mind. Both are licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, which means you can use them freely in government or NGO projects without worrying about GPL “infectiousness”.

Highcharter is an excelent R package for creating interactive charts using the Highcharts JavaScript library. It is free to use but you have to pay for a license if you use it for an organization’s project.

D3po is a free alternative to Highcharter, with a focus on fewer features.

After the D3po from last week I got a few questions that I did not document well. Now I added examples for these:

• Can I create nested treemaps? Yes, see this demo package.
• Can I change the background and tooltip colours? Yes, I covered that in the same demo package.
• Can I edit the tooltips and labels? Yes, see the same demo package.

In order to run the demo package, you need to install D3po and Tabler from my R-Universe:

install.packages("d3po", repos = "https://pachadotdev.r-universe.dev")
install.packages("tabler", repos = "https://pachadotdev.r-universe.dev")

Then run the demo package:

if (!require("remotes")) { install.packages("remotes", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org") }
remotes::install_github("pachadotdev/d3po", subdir = "examples/d3podemo")
d3podemo::run_app()

Here are some screenshots from the demo package:

I hope it’s useful!
