Embedding Treemap:itreemap in Rshiny

[chintasunny]

Hi
I am trying to embed itreemap function (interactive treemap) in R shiny. It keeps giving the error
"prod_metric_csv() is not a data.frame"
However, when I change the function to treemap, it works fine. It also works fine when I invoke the itreemap in regular rstudio (without shiny). Issue is occurring only when I embed in Shiny
Any pointers on the error is greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

This is a tricky one. itreemap scans the global environment for data.frames and checks with https://github.com/mtennekes/treemap/blob/master/pkg/R/itreemap.R#L44-L45 if the name of dtf is one of them. These lines will cause an error is you do not provide the data.frame directly to itreemap but via a function (in your case prod_metric_csv()) If there is a simple solution, I can implement that.

However, I will not do any major improvements anymore to itreemap, since there is a better interactive interface nowadays: https://github.com/timelyportfolio/d3treeR
