[R] error with geomap in googleVis

Fri Jun 10 12:06:47 CEST 2011

Hi Mike,

I believe you are trying to put two charts on the same page.
The demo(googleVis) provides you with an example for this.
So applying the same approach to your data sets would require:

library(googleVis)
df<-data.frame(foo=c("Brazil","Canada"), bar=c(123,456))

map1<-gvisGeoMap(df,locationvar='foo',numvar='bar')
m<-gvisMotionChart(Fruits,idvar="Fruit",timevar="Year")

## Build a new gvis object based on the exsiting ones
ComboChart <- structure(list(type='GeoMapMotionChart',
		 	chartid='myComboChart', 
		 	html=list(header=map1$html$header,
		      chart=list(map1$html$chart, # Geo Map
			           m$html$chart),   # Motion Chart
                  caption="Combination of various googleVis outputs <BR
/>", 
                  footer=map1$html$footer)),  
		      class=c("gvis", "list")
			)
plot(ComboChart)

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Markus

I still got blanks with Firefox with the two examples below, I put html
up here if you want to look at it,

http://98.129.232.232/xxx.html

I just downloaded googlevis from mirror 68 and it claimed it was 0.2.5 (
I thought, but maybe I should check again). 

install.packages("googleVis",dep=T)
library(googleVis)
df<-data.frame(foo=c("Brazil","Canada"), bar=c(123,456))
map1<-gvisGeoMap(df,locationvar='foo',numvar='bar')

cat(map1$html$header,filename="xxx.html",append=F)
cat(map1$html$header,file="xxx.html",append=F)
cat(map1$html$chart,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(map1$html$caption,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(map1$html$footer,file="xxx.html",append=T)
m<-gvisMotionChart(Fruits,idvar="Fruit",timevar="Year")
str(m)
cat(m$html$header,file="xxx.html",append=F)
cat(m$html$chart,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(m$html$caption,file="xxx.html",append=T)
cat(m$html$footer,file="xxx.html",append=T)
