Hello I have created a shiny app which creates a scatter plot between selected variables. Then when I click on a data point the name of the point is printed in the plot. The problem is that when I update the plot with other variables the printed are not erased. Generally I would like some ideas on how remove the data labels from my plot.
#ui.r
library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
library(dplyr)
fluidPage(
# App title ----
titlePanel(div("CROSS CORRELATION",style = "color:blue")),
# Sidebar layout with input and output definitions ----
sidebarLayout(
# Sidebar panel for inputs ----
sidebarPanel(
),
# Main panel for displaying outputs ----
mainPanel(
tabsetPanel(type = "tabs",
tabPanel("Correlation Plot",
fluidRow(
column(3, uiOutput("lx1")),
column(3,uiOutput("lx2"))),
hr(),
fluidRow(
tags$style(type="text/css",
".shiny-output-error { visibility: hidden; }",
".shiny-output-error:before { visibility: hidden; }"
)
),
fluidRow(
plotlyOutput("sc"))
)
)
)))
#server.r
function(input, output) {
output$lx1<-renderUI({
selectInput("lx1", label = h4("Select 1st Expression Profile"),
choices = colnames(iris[,1:4]),
selected = "Lex1")
})
output$lx2<-renderUI({
selectInput("lx2", label = h4("Select 2nd Expression Profile"),
choices = colnames(iris[,1:4]),
selected = "Lex2")
})
