ANALYTICS
Velocity0.0

Shiny gadget for building ggplot2 charts interactively by dragging and dropping

github.com/dreamRs/esquisse ↗

esquisse's 1.0 turned a point-and-click addin into embeddable Shiny modules.

r-shinyggplotmodulesdata-exportembeddable
◆Current state
The visible history covers the 1.0 line only. 1.0.0 is the substantial one: modules for importing data (via datamods) and exporting plots, a `ggplot_output()` / `render_ggplot()` pair, manual colour palettes, aesthetic parameter selection, more export formats including pptx, and typography controls. 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 are corrective — sf object handling, package-sourced data, disabled-panel label controls, and an `output_format` argument on the save modal.
◆Where it's heading
The arc runs from a self-contained RStudio addin toward a component library other people build with: once plot rendering and export exist as Shiny modules, esquisse's ggplot builder can be dropped inside someone else's app rather than only launched beside RStudio. The two follow-up releases are consolidation on that surface rather than expansion of it.
◆Prediction
Further work most likely lands on the module API and export coverage, since that is where 1.0.0 put the new surface and where 1.0.2 already returned. The entries do not indicate anything about cadence beyond this line.

◆Recent moves

    esquisse v1.0.2

    Adds an `output_format` argument so hosts can restrict which export formats users get, plus fixes to external data sources and dragula input selection. It narrows and tightens the export module 1.0.0 introduced.

    esquisse 1.0.1 fixes sf, package data and label controls

    esquisse 1.0.0 ships embeddable plot and export modules

    ⚡ SPARK

    The 1.0.0 release that defines the current shape of the package: data import and plot export as reusable modules, `ggplot_output()` / `render_ggplot()`, manual palettes, aesthetic selection and expanded export formats. It is the moment esquisse stops being only an addin.
