RChart gives blank screen
Here are my details:
rawData <- structure(list(Date = c("4/30/2015", "5/1/2015", "5/2/2015",
"5/3/2015", "5/4/2015", "5/5/2015"), Amount = c(23L, 43L, 32L,
43L, 43L, 32L)), .Names = c("Date", "Amount"), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-6L))
The following will open:
rPlot(Amount~Date, data = rawData, type = 'bar')
I have no idea why - I am new to rCharts, although I usually use ggplot2.
thanks for the help

I have seen as many tutorials or blogs as I could find about rCharts and there is no example rPlot
used with a type bar
anywhere with a dataset like yours (there is only one here , but it is used as a histogram with bin variables and counters that are not match).
The function rPlot
works great if you change the type bar
to line
, which makes me think you can't use rPlot
in this case.
#this works
p1 <- rPlot(x='Date', y='Amount', data = rawData, type = 'line')
p1
It seems to me that if you want to plot a barcode, your best bet is to use a function vPlot
(or hPlot
for a horizontal bar) that works great:
p1 <- vPlot(x='Date', y='Amount', data = rawData, type = 'bar')
p1
And actually as per @ Shiva's post below, you can also do (type = 'column' will print it vertically):
hPlot(x='Date', y='Amount', data = rawData, type = 'column')
Which actually looks even better:
