Overview
A collection of shiny applications for the R package Luminescence.
These mainly, but not exclusively, include applications for plotting
chronometric data from e.g. luminescence or radiocarbon dating. It
further provides access to twitter bootstraps tooltip and popover
functionality and contains the jscolor.js library
with a custom shiny output binding.
Installation
To install the stable version from CRAN, simply run the following from an R console:
install.packages("RLumShiny")To install the latest development builds directly from GitHub, run
if (!require("devtools"))
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("tzerk/RLumShiny@master")Applications
The RLumShiny package provides a single function from which all apps can
be started: app_RLum(). It essentially only takes one argument, which
is a unique keyword to specify which app to start. See the table below
for a list of available apps and which keywords to
use.
| Application | Keyword | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Abanico Plot | abanico | plot_AbanicoPlot |
| Histogram | histogram | plot_Histogram |
| Kernel Density Estimate Plot | KDE | plot_KDE |
| Radial Plot | radialplot | plot_RadialPlot |
| Dose Recovery Test | doserecovery | plot_DRTResults |
| Cosmic Dose Rate | cosmicdose | calc_CosmicDoseRate |
| CW Curve Transformation | transformCW | CW2pHMi, CW2pLM, CW2pLMi, CW2pPMi |
| Plot Filter Combinations | filter | plot_FilterCombinations |
| Calculate Fast Ratio | fastratio | calc_FastRatio |
| Fading measurement analysis and correction | fading | analyse_FadingMeasurement, calc_FadingCorr |
| Test OSL/IRSL Stimulation Power | teststimulationpower | plot_RLum |
| Scale Gamma Dose Rate† | scalegamma | scale_GammaDose() |
| Model dose rate evolution in carbonate-rich samples | RCarb | RCarb::model_DoseRate |
The app_RLum() function is just a wrapper for shiny::runApp(). Via
the ... argument further arguments can be directly passed to
shiny::runApp(). See ?shiny::runApp for further details on valid
arguments.
† Requires the development version (@dev_0.9.0-branch) of the
Luminescence package.
Extending Shiny
In addition to its main purpose of providing convenient access to the
Luminescence shiny applications this package also provides further
functions to extend the functionality of shiny. From the Bootstrap
framework the JavaScript tooltip and popover components can be added to
any shiny application via tooltip() and popover().
It further provides a custom input binding to the JavaScript/HTML color
picker JSColor. Offering access to most options
provided by the JSColor API the function jscolorInput() is easily
implemented in a shiny app. RGB colors are returned as hex values and
can be directly used in R’s base plotting functions without
requiring any format conversion.
Examples
Abanico Plot app
app_RLum("abanico")
Tooltip
tooltip(refId, text, attr = NULL, animation = TRUE, delay = 100, html = TRUE, placement = "auto", trigger = "hover")
JSColor
jscolorInput(inputId, label, value, position = "bottom", color = "transparent", mode = "HSV", slider = TRUE, close = FALSE)
Contribute
This package is part of the R Luminescence project. The is based on and evolves from ideas, contributions and constructive criticism of its users. Help us to maintain and develop the package, to find bugs and create new functions as well as a user-friendly design. Visit our message board or write us an e-mail if anything crosses your mind or if you want your new self-written shiny application to be to implemented. You are kindly invited to bring forward the package with us!
Note
This version is a development version and it comes without any guarentee! For stable branches please visit the package on CRAN ‘RLumShiny’.
