plot_click now cannot get exact data coordinates #6765
Description
plot_click (shiny) now cannot get exact data coordinates
(I think this is not a shiny bug?)
Description
After updating to latest version of ggplot2_4.0.0, Shiny's plot_click no longer returns the coordinates relative to the data panel. Instead, the click positions (input$plot_click$x and input$plot_click$y) are normalized to the entire plot area (?). This breaks applications that rely on precise data coordinates from plot_click.
Reproduce
library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
ui <- fluidPage(
plotOutput("plot", click = "plot_click"),
verbatimTextOutput("click_info")
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
df <- data.frame(x = 1:10, y = 1:10)
output$plot <- renderPlot({
ggplot(df, aes(x, y)) +
geom_point()
})
output$click_info <- renderPrint({
input$plot_click
})
}
shinyApp(ui, server)- Run the app.
- Click a point in the plot.
- Observe that
input$plot_click$xandinput$plot_click$yare between 0 and 1, not the actual data coordinates.
