Plotly type functionality in R

[clarktar]

I stumbled across an app that served up plots of environmental data. It appears to be built using plotly. When you hover in the upper right of the plot several interactive options come up. Does anyone know of similar functionality using R or ggplot ?

Hi @clarktar. You can check out the ggplotly() function from the plotly package.

library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)

g = ggplot(mtcars, aes(x = cyl, y = disp)) +
  geom_boxplot(aes(group = cyl))

ggplotly(g)

Thanks! Looks like there is alot of nuance to using ggplotly. I simply tried to pass it the plot in this post and several elements end up not being drawn or drawn "incorrectly".
