Visualization Workflows

Chart Series

Choose What To Plot

Visualization starts by choosing the series that should become the plotted values.

Program

Play the script to change the selected metric and watch the plotted-series summary update.

chart_series.R 
metric_index <- 
metric <- c("visits", "orders", "revenue")[metric_index]
series <- list(visits = c(12, 18, 21), orders = c(3, 5, 6), revenue = c(30, 52, 61))[[metric]]
total <- sum(series)
label <- paste(metric, total, sep = ":")
cat(label, "\n", sep = "")

metric_index <- 
metric <- c("visits", "orders", "revenue")[metric_index]
series <- list(visits = c(12, 18, 21), orders = c(3, 5, 6), revenue = c(30, 52, 61))[[metric]]
total <- sum(series)
label <- paste(metric, total, sep = ":")
cat(label, "\n", sep = "")

metric_index <- 
metric <- c("visits", "orders", "revenue")[metric_index]
series <- list(visits = c(12, 18, 21), orders = c(3, 5, 6), revenue = c(30, 52, 61))[[metric]]

label <- paste(metric, total, sep = ":")
cat(label, "\n", sep = "")
metric choice A selected name chooses one vector from a named list.
series The selected vector is the data a plotting call would draw.
summary label A small label confirms which series is being prepared.
