Which graphics framework to choose with Shiny?

[A. She.]

Hello! 

I need to decide which graphics framework to choose as a standard for my company.

I look at highcharts, plotly, d3. 

Your opinion?

Any requirements? What kind of plots do you want to make?

Did you have a look at the htmlwidgets page? http://www.htmlwidgets.org/showcase_plotly.html

In my opinion

- D3 makes it possible to make complicated and non-standard plots. You should know javascript (unless you can do with the D3 htmlwidgets that are available)

- Plotly and highcharts are more for standard plots like bar, scatter, pie, etc. If you work a lot with ggplot then choose plotly

Important is easy, fast and without javascript.
I develop dashboards for different customers.

Note also the licencing. Highcharts is not free for commercial use.

You may as well forget d3 (without some higher level plotting library on top of it). It's not a plotting library in the sense that we're used to--more like a low-level toolkit for manipulating data and the DOM, plus a bunch of abstract algorithms. All of which happen to be extremely useful for building plots. But it's a lot of work to go from nothing but d3 to, say, a decent scatter plot.

A nice package to look at to is : "rAmCharts".

A lot of graph types are available and it could be free for commercial use, if you allow the display of a small copyright phrase in the corner of your plots.

Best regards.

If you're interested in interactivity and have a pretty good idea of what types of plots your dashboards will have, then htmlwidgets like Ger mentioned might be a good bet.

If you're fine with static plots, I would actually recommend ggplot2 as the standard. It has a very customizable theming system, so you can develop a specific theme so your company's plots all have a consistent look. (I would recommend putting this theme into an R package.) There are a lot of ways you can visualize data with ggplot2 core, but it also has a lot of extensions. From plotting graphs/networks to survival curves.

Hope this helps!
