Echart4R axis problem

[Thibaud]

Hola/Hello,

I am currently working with a dataset composed of a series of two experiments of dna extraction : a first one and a second one optimized and I would like to represent it in 3D and interactively

I found the package Echart4R which seems veyr interesting even if they're still few people working with it

Then, I decided to plot my data with the example given for Bar 3D trying to apply it to my dataset.

Here's my code :

# PACKAGES 

library(echarts4r)

# Plot preparation 

    trans <- list(opacity = 0.4) # transparency
    emphasis <- list(itemStyle = list(color = "#313695"))

# Making the plot 

plot1<-dna_extraction_comparison |> 
  e_charts(Code) |>                                                                  # indique qu'on fait un plot echart en spécifiant l'abcisse X à utiliser 
  e_title("Optimization of dna extraction protocol comparison","Wilcowon paired test : p-value = 1.476e-05 **") |> # title
  e_bar_3d(Species, round.1, stack = "stack", name = " (1) Raw extraction ", itemStyle = trans, emphasis = emphasis) |>
  e_bar_3d(Species, Round.2, stack = "stack", name = " (2) Optimized extraction", itemStyle = trans, emphasis = emphasis) |> # Stack pour spécifier l'empilement des données
  e_legend()

Here's my current result :

The plot correspond to each specimen included in the experiments two times, axis X and Y display the same information, each specimen having a taxinomix name and a sampling code

My interrogation is about the axis label :

(1)
I already searched but I do not find any solution for renaming my axis plot, it does not seems to be implemented for this kind of visualisation
isn't it ?

(2)
Is that possible to control what appears in the axis label, if I want to let appears more than 8 species written in the axis for example ?

Thanks in advance and wishing you a good day !

I have never used echarts, so I am making a tentative suggestion based on the documentation. If you want to change the name displayed for the x axis, I think you would add the code

e_x_axis(name = "Species")

There are many options for the axis listed at

Documentation - Apache ECharts

I am not sure what you want to do in your second question. Do you want to change the text shown at the tick marks?

Hola,

(1) Thank you for that, I've seen already the documentation - Apache Echart but it's hard to understand without having doing Javascript once in his life, which is kind peculiar to have a documentation for a R package in another language

(2) I solution my problem keeping the same y-axis with poor information and choose to display species name while hovering on a measure. It's possible by simply adding another argument and a bit of Javascript.

e_tooltip(formatter = htmlwidgets::JS("
      function(params){
        return('Species: ' + params.value[1]) 
      }
    ")
)

Thanks !
