golly is very very much a work in progress. The G2 project implements an incredible JavaScript for building visualizations. G2 is based on the same grammar of graphics as ggplot2 and it shows. The goal of golly is to provide a familiar toolset for R programmers to build interactive web visualizations.

Furthermore, golly would be the visualization backbone of the dull. This is a ways off, but why not keep an eye on the horizon?

This minimal example is now up and running. Be aware many similar functions or geoms were skipped over to focus on getting a workable example going. These other functions will come along soon.

library(golly)

games

#      genre sold
# 1   Sports  275
# 2 Strategy  115
# 3   Action  120
# 4  Shooter  350
# 5    Other  150

games %>%
 chart() %>%
 interval(
   . %>%
     position("genre*sold") %>%
     color("genre")
 )

(if run interactively, the chart is also interactive)
