Adding interactivity to your data visualizations allows users to manipulate the plot to ask different questions, explore detail, and more. Learn to make interactive, publication-quality web-based graphs in R using the RShiny package. It is recommended that you have used R before, even if you consider yourself a beginner.
Prior to the workshop, participants should install R first, followed by the free version of RStudio Desktop. Registrants will be emailed installation instructions. If you need help installing these, please schedule a coding consultation and we'd be glad to help you.
