Preparing example data

# Load packages
library(highcharter)
library(ggplot2)
library(gapminder) # Sample data for some demo charts

# Prepare data
top10_countries <- gapminder %>%
filter(year == max(year))%>%
arrange(desc(pop)) %>%
head(10)

Line chart

ggplot(data = country_data, aes(x = xValue, y = yValue))


+ geom_line()

Example:
us_data <- gapminder %>%
filter(country == "United States")

us_linechart <- ggplot(us_data, aes(x= year, y= pop))


+ geom_line()

Histogram

Let’s look at export_sales data

ggplot(data = export_sales,
aes(x = TotalPrice))
+ geom_histogram(binwidth = 500)
+ scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Set1")

Example

Add a line for mean value, and change colors

ggplot(export_sales,
aes(x = Category, y = TotalPrice, fill = Category))
+ geom_boxplot(alpha = 0.7)
+ stat_summary(fun.y = mean, geom = "point", shape = 20, size = 3,
color="red", fill="red")
+ scale_fill_brewer(palette = "BrBG")
+ theme([Link] = "none")

Charts with Highcharter

pie_chart <- top10_countries %>%


hchart("pie",
hcaes(x = country, y = pop))%>%
hc_title(text = "Top 10 countries by
population") %>%
hc_add_theme(hc_theme_ggplot2())

Charts with Highcharter

col_chart <- top10_countries %>%


hchart("column",
hcaes(x = country, y = pop),
color = "green")

col_chart

Now change the color code part with this:


color = "#004065"
