Create an Encharter Chart

Description

Factory function that initialises an R6 chart object. Returns a Chart object for standard OOXML chart types (bar, line, scatter, ...) or a ChartEx object for modern extended chart types (waterfall, treemap, ...).

The Chart class provides a flexible interface to build Office OpenXML (OOXML) chart objects. It allows for granular control over grid lines, secondary axes, and combined chart types (e.g., Bar and Line) within a single plot area.

An R6 class to create and manipulate Office OpenXML (OOXML) Extended Charts (ChartEx), including Waterfall, Sunburst, Treemap, and Region Maps, which are not supported by standard Office Open XML chart types.

Usage

encharter(type = "lineChart")

ec(type = "lineChart")
encharter(type = "lineChart")

ec(type = "lineChart")

Arguments

type

A character string specifying the chart type. Common R-style aliases are accepted (see Details).

Details

Supported Chart Types:

Bar/Column: "barChart", "barplot", "hist", "histogram"
Line/Area: "lineChart", "line", "areaChart", "area"
Scatter: "scatterChart", "scatter", "point"
Pie/Doughnut: "pieChart", "pie", "doughnutChart", "doughnut"
Extended (ChartEx): "waterfall", "treemap", "sunburst", "regionMap", "boxWhisker" / "boxplot", "funnel"

Bar vs Column direction: For bar/column charts, orientation is set via the dir argument in ⁠$add_series()⁠: "col" (vertical, default) or "bar" (horizontal).

This class is designed to work with the openxlsx2 package by generating the underlying XML required for the add_chart_xml method.

This class uses XML to manipulate the underlying XML structure and integrates with openxlsx2 for workbook generation.

Value

An R6 object of class Chart or ChartEx.

Further examples

Additional runnable example scripts ship in inst/examples. Each file defines a single function (named after the file) that builds a workbook and opens it in interactive sessions. List or run them with:

list.files(system.file("examples", package = "encharter"))
source(system.file("examples", "Bar_Line_Chart.R", package = "encharter"))

The available files are:

⁠01_Chart_examples.R⁠ — tour of standard + extended types in one wb
All_chartex.R — every ChartEx type (waterfall, sunburst, treemap, ...)
Axis_labels.R — negative-value bar with axis crossing logic
BW_with_args.R — box-whisker visibility toggles
Bar_Area_Chart.R — bars + area combo
Bar_Line_Chart.R — bars + dashed line on secondary axis
Bar_Line_and_Data_Table.R — date axis + data table below chart
Bar_Line_and_Line.R — two independent line/bar demos
Bar_chart2.R — area-base combo with chart/plot styling
Bubble_Doughnut.R — doughnut + bubble on one sheet
Chart_and_plot_style.R — chart-area vs plot-area styling
Droplines_highlowlines_updownbars.R — line adornments
Histogram_with_args.R — histogram via clusteredColumn binning
Label_Grouping.R — multi-level category labels
Line.R — line with markers and global data labels
Pie.R — pie with viridis palette
Radar_chart.R — standard vs filled radar
Scatter.R — markers-only scatter
Seatbelts.R — Seatbelts time series with rolling rates
StockCharts.R — stockChart with high/low and up/down bars
Styled_Bars.R — heavy series + axis + grid styling
Surface_Plot.R — surface (contour) plot from a matrix
Treemap_with_args.R — treemap with parent_label = "banner"
Trendline_and_errorbars.R — series error bars + linear trendline
Waterfall.R — financial bridge with subtotal
Waterfall2.R — waterfall with date X-axis
Waterfall3.R — fully themed waterfall
line_scatterplot.R — multi-species scatter from iris

Run all of them in one session with run_all_examples() (defined in inst/examples/run_all_examples.R).

show_val: Logical; show the data point value. Default TRUE.
show_cat: Logical; show the category name. Default FALSE.
show_legend_key: Logical; show the series color swatch next to each label. Default FALSE.
pos: Label position: "t" (top, default), "b" (bottom), "l", "r", "ctr", "inEnd", "outEnd", "bestFit".
...: Additional font style arguments passed to the label text properties (e.g. font_size, font_color, bold).

Examples

ec("bar")$set_data_label_style(show_val = TRUE, pos = "outEnd", font_size = 9)

`EncharterBase$set_legend_style()`
