I am having trouble getting my plotly plot to fit in its flexdashboard container. The bottom gets cut off.
Consider the following reprex:
---
title: "Plotly Flexdashboard Conflict"
output:
flexdashboard::flex_dashboard:
source_code: embed
---
Column
---
### In this tab, the plot is pushed out of bonds by the selectize items.
```{r}
library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)
library(gapminder)
library(flexdashboard)
gapminder_highlighted <-
highlight_key(gapminder[1:408,], ~country, "Select a country")
gapminder_ggplot <-
gapminder_highlighted %>%
ggplot(aes(x = year, y = lifeExp, group = country), alpha = 0.2) +
geom_line()
gapminder_plotly <- ggplotly(gapminder_ggplot)
highlight(gapminder_plotly, dynamic = T, selectize = T, persistent = T)
```
### Without selectize, all is well. The x axis is visible.
```{r}
gapminder_plotly
```
Column
---
### When plots overflow, flexdashboard is meant to add a scrollbar. E.g.
```{r}
plot(cars)
plot(nhtemp)
plot(cars)
plot(nhtemp)
```
### Although this does not actually work for all elements. E.g. Text generated from code chunks fails to trigger slider addition:
```{r}
cat( rep("Flex is not responsive to text overflow here. ", 100) )
print("This line is hidden")
```
Output is on Rpubs here so you can have a look: RPubs - Plotly Flexdashboard Conflict
The first gapminder plot is pushed out of bounds by the selectize items. And flexdashboard doesn't trigger the addition of a vertical scrollbar like it should.
