Extending visualisations: Glossary

gganimate is an extension of the ggplot plotting system

Add a transition to plots to describe how to move from one display of the data to another

Control how transitions occur using easings, shadows, enters and exits

Animations can be saved with anim_save()

Reactive elements update when their inputs change

Reactive elements can interact with non-reactive elements, but not the other way around

Interactive applications can be broken up into ‘UI’ and ‘server’ components

runtime: shiny in the R Markdown header will enable using shiny components

You do not need to worry about the ui.r file in this case

You need a computer running R as the server to share Shiny apps
