If more than one series is supplied, stacked column plot is generated.

column_chart(
  data,
  x,
  series = NULL,
  series_labels = series,
  styles = NULL,
  interval = "months"
)

Arguments

data

data frame in wide format containing data to be plotted
x

vector containing labels for x axis or name of column in data with values of x axis labels
series

series_labels

optional vector with labels for series to be plotted as legend. The default is the same as series.
styles

Examples

# prepare some data frame
df <- data.frame(x = month.abb[1:6],
                 y = c(2, 4, 2, 1, 2.5, 3),
                 z = c(3, 4.5, 2, 1, 4, 2))

# generate character vectors with svg data
svg1 <- column_chart(df, x = 'x', series = 'y')
svg2 <- column_chart(df, x = df$x, series = c('y', 'z'))


# show the plot
svg1
