I am trying to write a code which will plot multiple variables on a graph when the variables are clicked. The language is R and I am using Shiny to create an app. The following one is a sample.
library(shiny)
library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
library(dplyr)
library(htmlwidgets)
library(ggthemes)
ui <- fluidPage(
tags$head(
tags$style(
HTML("
.app-title-container {
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 1001;
background-color: #f8f9fa;
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;
}
.app-title {
text-align: center;
font-size: 28px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #1A5276;
margin-top: 0;
margin-bottom: 0;
}
.upbar {
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
top: 50px;
z-index: 1000;
background-color: #f8f9fa;
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px solid #ddd;
overflow: hidden;
}
.upbar.hidden {
max-height: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
}
.checkbox-group-container {
max-height: 150px;
overflow-y: auto;
display: flex;
flex-wrap: wrap;
gap: 10px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 10px;
}
.checkbox-group-container .checkbox-inline {
width: 30%;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: break-all;
overflow-wrap: break-word;
box-sizing: border-box;
text-align: left;
align-items: center;
margin: 0px;
justify-content: flex-start;
}
.plot-box {
border: 2px solid #5DADE2;
padding: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px 2px #A9CCE3;
}
")
)
),
tags$script(
HTML("
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#toggle-button').on('click', function() {
$('.upbar').toggleClass('hidden');
$(this).find('i').toggleClass('fa-chevron-up fa-chevron-down');
});
});
")
),
div(class = "app-title-container",
div(class = "app-title", "Dynamic Time Series Visualization")
),
div(
style = "text-align: right; padding-right: 10px;",
actionButton("toggle-button", label = NULL, icon = icon("chevron-up"))

div(class = "upbar",
fluidRow(
column(4, fileInput("file", "Choose CSV File", accept = c(".csv"))),
column(4, numericInput("time", "Total Time (seconds)", value = 1000, min = 1)),
column(4, downloadButton("download_pdf", "Download as PDF"))
),
fluidRow(
column(12, div(class = "checkbox-group-container", uiOutput("variable_selector")))
)
),
mainPanel(
div(class = "plot-box", plotlyOutput("plot_output")),
width = 12
)
)
server <- function(input, output, session) {
dataset <- reactive({
req(input$file)
df <- read.csv(input$file$datapath, check.names = FALSE)
colnames(df) <- make.names(colnames(df), unique = TRUE)
colnames(df) <- gsub("[. ]", "_", colnames(df))
total_time <- input$time
time_sequence <- seq(0, total_time, length.out = nrow(df))
df$Time <- time_sequence

df <- dataset()

inputId = "variables",

choiceNames = lapply(gsub("_", " ", names(df)[names(df) != "Time"]), function(name) {
tags$div(class = "checkbox-inline", name)
}),
choiceValues = names(df)[names(df) != "Time"],

})
output$plot_output <- renderPlotly({
req(input$variables)
df <- dataset()
p <- plot_ly(data = df, x = ~Time) # Initialize plotly object
for (i in seq_along(input$variables)) {
var <- input$variables[i]
color <- scales::hue_pal()(length(input$variables))[i]
# Add variable as a separate trace
p <- add_lines(
p,
y = as.formula(paste0("~", var)),
name = gsub("_", " ", var),
line = list(color = color),
yaxis = paste0("y", i)
)
}
# Configure dynamic y-axes
y_axes <- lapply(seq_along(input$variables), function(i) {
list(
title = gsub("_", " ", input$variables[i]),
overlaying = if (i > 1) "y" else NULL,
side = if (i %% 2 == 0) "right" else "left",
showgrid = FALSE
)
})
layout_args <- c(
list(
title = "Dynamic Time Series Visualization",
xaxis = list(title = "Time (seconds)")
),
setNames(y_axes, paste0("yaxis", seq_along(y_axes)))
)
p <- do.call(layout, c(list(p), layout_args))
return(p)
})
}
shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)
What I am trying is that clicking each variable will create a new Y axis on either side (left or right) with its own scale, title, labels and their colour will be colour of the curve of that corresponding variable in the graph. So far I have managed to do this (In the first picture).
As you can see in the first picture, four variables are plotted, each with their own scale and labels but unfortunately they all get overlapped so the titles and scales and labels can't be read easily.
I want my graph will be like the 2nd photo
How should I do it? Can someone suggest me or edit my code? You can try this dataset to test Thank you in advance!
