render Image not outputting Shiny

[cowa]

 output$plot <- renderImage({
  
outfile <- tempfile(fileext = '.png')
png(outfile, width = 400, height = 300)
venn.diagram(
  x = list(
    T = T,
    I = I
  ),
  main = "Venn Diagram ",
  filename =outfile, output=TRUE,
  lwd = 2,na = "remove",
  fill = c("orange", "blue"),
  alpha = c(0.5,0.5),
  label.col = "black",
  cex=1.5,
  fontface = "plain",
  cat.col = c("cornflowerblue", "pink"),
  cat.cex = 1.5,
  cat.fontfamily = "serif",
  cat.fontface = "plain",
  cat.dist = c(0.05, 0.05),
  cat.pos = c(-20, 14),
  cat.default.pos = "text",
  scaled = FALSE
)
dev.off()

list(src = outfile,
     contentType = 'image/png',
     width = 400,
     height = 300,
     alt = "This is alternate text")
}, deleteFile = TRUE)

I was trying plot a venn diagram using this code. But it only displays This is alternate text and not outputting any image on the app, Any Idea ?

Hi,

Issues with Shiny code can stem from both the reactive Shiny code itself or the regular R code used in the functions. In order for us to help you with your question, please provide us a minimal reproducible example (Reprex) where you provide a minimal (dummy) dataset and code that can recreate the issue. One we have that, we can go from there. For help on creating a Reprex, see this guide:

Shiny debugging and reprex guide

Shiny issues can be challenging to resolve relative to other problems with your code or statistical methods. Shiny apps are often large, complex projects with interacting files. When seeking help from others it is considered polite to: First, do your best to work through RStudio's debugging tools to diagnose your issue on your own. Often those shiny logs and tracebacks are useful to others trying to help out. Second, strive to minimize the effort required to replicate your issue. You can do this with a reproducible example ("reprex"). Shiny Debugging Errors in Shiny code can be difficult to track down. If you don't know where your problem is coming from, you can track it down with some o…

Good luck!
