Note that because the diagrams depend on HTML and JavaScript for rendering they can only be used in HTML based output formats (they don’t work in PDFs or MS Word documents).įrom within RStudio you can also publish diagrams to RPubs or save them as standalone web pages. Within RStudio you can save diagrams as an image (PNG, BMP, etc.) or copy them to clipboard for re-use in other applications.įor a more reproducible workflow, diagrams can be embedded within R Markdown documents just like plots (all of the required HTML and JS is automatically included). This has the following implications for how they can be published and re-used: Publishing with DiagrammeRĭiagrams created with DiagrammeR act a lot like R plots however there’s an important difference: they are rendered as HTML content rather than using an R graphics device. Using the graphviz_graph function you can specify nodes and edges directly using a data frame.įuture versions of DiagrammeR are expected to include additional features to support direct generation of diagrams from R. See the documentation on Graphviz Substitution for more details. Using text substitution, whereby you create placeholders within the diagram script and substitute their values from R objects. The latest version of DiagrammeR (v0.6, just released to CRAN) also includes facilities for generating diagrams from R code. Generating Diagrams from R Codeīoth of the examples above illustrating creating diagrams by direct editing of DOT and mermaid scripts. See the DigrammeR mermaid.js documentation for additional details. For example, with the following source file (“boxes.dot”): Its features include well-tuned layout algorithms for placing nodes and edge splines, edge labels, “record” shapes with “ports” for drawing data structures, and cluster layouts (see for an introductory guide).ĭiagrammeR can render any DOT script. DOT draws directed graphs as hierarchies. If you aren’t familiar with Graphviz, it’s a tool for rendering DOT (a plain text graph description language).

We’re very excited about the prospect of creating sophisticated diagrams using an easy to author plain-text syntax, and built some special authoring support for DiagrammeR into RStudio v0.99 (which you can download a preview release of now). Rendering of Graphviz graph visualizations (via viz.js)Ĭreating diagrams and flowcharts using mermaid.jsįacilities for mapping R objects into graphs, diagrams, and flowcharts. The package is very flexible and powerful, and includes: You can also specify explicit sizes via fig-width and fig-height.Soon after the announcement of htmlwidgets, Rich Iannone released the DiagrammeR package, which makes it easy to generate graph and flowchart diagrams using text in a Markdown-like syntax. You can disable responsive sizing by specifying the fig-responsive: false option. This is similar to the treatment given to images and dynamic JavaScript widgets. Within HTML output formats, diagrams are also made responsive, so that their width doesn’t overflow the current page column. Sizingīy default, diagrams are rendered at their natural size (i.e. they are not stretched to fit the default figure size for the current document). Note that the label and fig-cap attributes still work as expected with file includes. For example, if we added the following figure options to the diagram above:

Note that you should be sure to have installed the very latest version of the Quarto VS Code extension to try this out.ĭiagrams can be treated as figures the same way that images and plot output are. The Quarto VS Code Extension supports live preview of diagrams embedded in. dot files (with help from the DiagrammeR package). RStudio includes support for editing and previewing. Graphviz Online provides a similar tool for editing Graphviz diagrams. The Mermaid Live Editor is an online tool for editing and previewing Mermaid diagrams in real time. There are a variety of tools available to improve your productivity authoring diagrams: To learn more about Graphviz, see the Graphviz website, this list of simple Graphiz Examples, or the Graphviz Gallery.
Note that the cell options syntax is slightly different for ( %%| and //|, respectively) because they have distinct character sequences for single-line comments.
