This article describes how to use the Code panel in Displayr to create and modify R-based Variables and Calculations in your Document. Note that R-based Data Sets do not use the Code Editor panel; for guidance, see below.
Accessing R code for R Data Sets
Requirements
A Displayr document with at least one of the following:
- An existing object that is built using R code,
- An object that contains R code, or
- A new custom calculation, R variable, or R data set.
Accessing the R Code Panel
When you create a new R item, the Code panel will automatically appear below the page:
Otherwise, to access the Code panel for Variables and Calculations:
Method 1 - From the Properties panel:
- Select the object that contains R code (see above requirements).
- From Properties
, go to the Data tab and click Show advanced options if the R Code section is not expanded.
- In the R Code section, click Edit Code or hit F2 on your keyboard.
Method 2 - From the floating toolbar buttons on an object:
- Click the Code icon in the floating toolbar directly above or below the calculation when selected.
Closing the R code panel
When you are finished editing the R code in a calculation, you can manually close the panel in one of the following ways:
- By using the X button in the upper-right corner of the editor.
- By using the Hide Code button in Properties
- By clicking the
icon in the floating toolbar that appears directly above or below the selected item.
Resizing the R code panel
You can adjust the code editor panel's height by dragging the panel up or down. The height is remembered as long as you do not clear your browsing data/cache for Displayr.
Accessing R code for R Data Sets
The code for an R Data Set:
- In the Data Sources pane, select the R data set name.
- In the Properties
- A dialogue with a field for the name of your data set and a code editor will pop up.
