in my shiny app, I would like to add a geom_hline in my ggplot
only when the user selects to do so with a checkbox, also I would like the user to set the yintercept
with a numericInput
.
I believe that there is an easy solution but as I am not a coder I would like to ask which would be the easiest way to do it.
My code goes like this:
in UI:
numericInput('hline', label ='Limits', 0)
and in server:
plotInput <- reactive({
ggplot(data = dataforplot(), aes(x = ID_Polymer, y = value), position = position_dodge(width = 1)) +
geom_bar(aes_string( fill=razeni()), position = position_dodge(width = 1), stat="identity", color="white")+
theme_minimal() +
theme(legend.text=element_text(size=21))+
theme(text = element_text(size=21))+
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank(), panel.grid.minor = element_blank()) +
ggtitle(input$title_text_box_id) +
geom_hline(aes(yintercept = input$hline, linetype = "Minimal limit"), color='red', size=0.4)+
labs(x = "", y = input$ylabel_text_box_id) +
geom_text(aes(x = ID_Polymer, y = value,Group=Polymer,label=value),
position = position_dodge(width = 1),vjust=2, size=5,colour = "white", fontface = "bold") +
scale_fill_tableau("Tableau 10")+
scale_x_discrete(labels=c(xpopisky()))#puts a reactive in x labels
})
which works, only I don't know the best way to tell the shiny "show the geom_hline
only when I tell you by checking the checkbox", an if else
cycle should be involved I believe.
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
You can assign ggplot objects to a variable. The following pseudo code demonstrates this:
p = ggplot(data = ......) +
geom_bar(....) +
theme(....)
if(input$hline){
p = p + geom_hline(....)
}
Note that your question would be improved if you provided a minimal working example. Right now the code in your question includes irrelevant details (e.g. ggplot theme and labels) and can not be run as is.
