Hello 🙂 Yesterday I made my first Shiny-App and added Inputs.
The inputs let me choose if I want to display the plot with percentages or with quantities. Here is an example:
ui <- fluidPage(
fluidRow(
column(width = 3,
selectInput("PlotChoose", "Ansicht: Proportion oder Anzahl?", choices = c("Proportion", "Anzahl"))),
column(width = 4,
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Proportion'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex1", width = 400)
)
),
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Anzahl'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex2", width = 400)))),
column(width = 5, verbatimTextOutput("t12")))
server <- function(input, output) {
output$ex1 <- renderPlot({
ggplot( survivalMutate,
aes(x = Sex, fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(position = "fill")+
ggtitle("Wer hat überlebt in Prozent?")+
scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey24", "snow")) +
labs(y= "Proportion")
})
output$ex2 <- renderPlot({
ggplot(survivalMutate,
aes(x = Sex,
fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(position = "stack") +
ggtitle("Wer hat überlebt in Anzahl?")+
scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey24", "snow"))+
labs(y= "Anzahl")
})
This seems to works great for two plots (displaying the same data, but differing in either showing percentages or the whole quantities)
The problem im having:
This is not the only plot I am displaying. My problem is, that when I change the conditionalPanel to display the percentages, EVERY plot in the whole app that has the conditionalPanel will change (vice versa for clicking on "quantities").
How can I make the InputPanels independent, so that when I change one of the panels it does not affect every plot in the app that is using the same function?
To further understand: here is some more code (2 additional plots) and a screenshot of my app to visualize the problem:
ui <- fluidPage(
fluidRow(
column(width = 3,
selectInput("PlotChoose", "Ansicht: Proportion oder Anzahl?", choices = c("Proportion", "Anzahl"))),
column(width = 4,
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Proportion'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex1", width = 400)
)
),
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Anzahl'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex2", width = 400)))),
column(width = 5, verbatimTextOutput("t12"))),
h4("____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________"),
fluidRow(
column(width = 3,
selectInput("PlotChoose", "Ansicht: Proportion oder Anzahl?", choices = c("Proportion", "Anzahl"))),
column(width = 4,
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Proportion'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex3", width = 400)
)
),
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Anzahl'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex4", width = 400)))),
column(width = 5, verbatimTextOutput("t34")))
server <- function(input, output) {
output$ex1 <- renderPlot({
ggplot( survivalMutate,
aes(x = Sex, fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(position = "fill")+
ggtitle("Wer hat überlebt in Prozent?")+
scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey24", "snow")) +
labs(y= "Proportion")
})
output$ex2 <- renderPlot({
ggplot(survivalMutate,
aes(x = Sex,
fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(position = "stack") +
ggtitle("Wer hat überlebt in Anzahl?")+
scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey24", "snow"))+
labs(y= "Anzahl")
})
output$ex3 <- renderPlot({
ggplot(survivalMutate,
aes(x = Pclass,
fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(position = "fill") +
ggtitle("Mehr tot in welchen Klassen in %?")+
scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey24", "snow"))+
labs(y= "Proportion")
})
output$ex4 <- renderPlot({
ggplot(survivalMutate,
aes(x = Pclass,
fill = Status)) +
geom_bar(position = "stack")+
ggtitle("Mehr tot in welchen Klassen in anzahl? ")+
scale_fill_manual(values = c("grey24", "snow"))+
labs(y= "Anzahl")
})
As you can see every InputPanel has chosen "Proportion" and is displaying them
But as soon as I change the first InputPanel to "Anzahl" (quantities) every plot changes:
I need them to be independent – any ideas?
If you’ve read until here thank you a lot and have a great day/evening/night – thank you so much!
>Solution :
You should’t use the same input twice. Just give it another inputId, this should solve your problem. Below I just renamed the input for the bottom plot to PlotChoose2.
I can’t test, since you didn’t include your data survivalMutate. It is best practice to include this or an excerpt of your data so that we can reproduce the problem.
ui = fluidPage(
fluidRow(
column(width = 3,
selectInput("PlotChoose", "Ansicht: Proportion oder Anzahl?", choices = c("Proportion", "Anzahl"))),
column(width = 4,
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Proportion'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex1", width = 400)
)
),
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose == 'Anzahl'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex2", width = 400)))),
column(width = 5, verbatimTextOutput("t12"))),
h4("____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________"),
fluidRow(
column(width = 3,
selectInput("PlotChoose2", "Ansicht: Proportion oder Anzahl?", choices = c("Proportion", "Anzahl"))),
column(width = 4,
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose2 == 'Proportion'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex3", width = 400)
)
),
conditionalPanel("input.PlotChoose2 == 'Anzahl'",
column(width = 8,
plotOutput(outputId = "ex4", width = 400)))),
column(width = 5, verbatimTextOutput("t34"))))
