Has anyone checked out the great new dataviz package called streamgraphs?
Here are some examples: http://rpubs.com/hrbrmstr/streamgraph04
I'm looking to visualize revenue of five different products over time and want to see how it looks in a streamgraph. I melted my dataframe and it looks like the following:
week variable value
1 40 rev1 372.096
2 40 rev2 506.880
3 40 rev3 1411.200
4 40 rev4 198.528
5 40 rev5 60.800
6 43 rev1 342.912
7 43 rev2 501.120
8 43 rev3 132.352
9 43 rev4 267.712
10 43 rev5 82.368
11 44 rev1 357.504
12 44 rev2 466.560
So, the continuous variable is in the value column. I tried the following:
rev_plot %>%
streamgraph("variable","value","week")
The error that I receive is the following:
Error in expand_(data, dots) : object '.' not found
I'm not quite sure what this means. I know the package is new, but I was wondering if anyone could help. Would really appreciate it!
A quick workaround (until I can squeeze time for coding up arbitrary continuous scales) is:
# convert week number to a date
rev_plot $week <- as.POSIXct(sprintf("2014 %d 1", rev_plot $week),
format = "%Y %U %u")
# show intervals by week and format with only week number
streamgraph(rev_plot, key="variable", date="week") %>%
sg_axis_x(tick_interval=1, tick_units="week", tick_format="%U")
