Primary LanguageR

DEVIUM

Dynamic multivariatE data analysis And VIsUalization PlatforM

Interactive plotting and analysis of multivariate data using Shiny or GTK based GUIs.

[Shiny] (http://www.rstudio.com/shiny/)

Prototypes for some of the analyses implemented in Devium can be viewed in the browser using the Shiny framework.

[GTK] (http://www.gtk.org/)

  • GUI using RGtk2 toolkit implemented with gWidgests

  • Dynamic plotting - base and ggplot2

  • Linked brushing of multiple plots - iplots

  • Network Visualizations - igraph (static, interactive and 3D), Cytoscape (RCytoscape)

  • Analyses - univariate and multivariate

  • Automated report generation - rsweave

  • Data import and linking with MS Excel and Google Spreadsheets

  • Successor to imDEV, including improved interface and capabilities

Installation of GTK GUI

Eventually devium will be installed from R as a package and from alternative repositories where it can be bundled with GTK+ components. For now it can be installed by using the source code in the devium/R directory. Copy and paste the following code in to R to source the necessary files.

#load package from github repo
source("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JVyTrYRD")

#check out some of the functions (accesory objects will be cleaned up)
objects()

#launch GUI (watch R console for messages regarding the downloading of dependancies)
devium.gui()

Note if you don't yet have the GTK+ toolkit installed you need to specify to "Install GTK+" when prompted from the R command line.
