Run the mapsf.gui Shiny app
Description
Run the mapsf.gui Shiny app
Usage
run_app(data = NULL, viewer = "browser", stop_on_close = TRUE)
Arguments
data |
Optional list of sf objects to load at launch |
viewer |
Viewer type: "browser" (default), "pane", or "dialog" |
stop_on_close |
If TRUE (default), the app will stop when the viewer is closed. Set to FALSE to keep the app running. Note that reloading the app in your browser (with F5 for example) counts as closing the viewer, so if you set this to TRUE, the app will stop when you reload it. Setting this to FALSE allows you to reload the app in your browser without stopping it, but you will need to stop the app manually (by doing Ctrl + C in the console or clicking the stop button in RStudio) when you are done. |
Value
This function opens a browser, a pane or a dialog and returns nothing.
Examples
if (interactive()) {
# Run the app in the browser with no data
run_app()
# Run the app in a dialog with no data
run_app(viewer = "dialog")
# Run the app with example data from mapsf package
mtq <- mapsf::mf_get_mtq()
run_app(data = list(mtq = mtq))
# Run the app with multiple example data and without stopping on close
# (so that you can reload it in the browser without stopping it)
mtq <- mapsf::mf_get_mtq()
pts <- mapsf::mf_get_mtq("points")
run_app(data = list(mtq = mtq, pts = pts), stop_on_close = FALSE)
}
