eviatlas is an R package for visualising the datasets produced by systematic maps. It is the package version of the EviAtlas app, which you can access at https://estech.shinyapps.io/eviatlas/.
eviatlas was produced as part of the Evidence Synthesis Hackathon series. It was created by and for the open-source research community. Pull requests and suggestions for future improvements are welcome.
You can download it using the following code:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rmetaverse/eviatlas")This package has only one function, called eviatlas, which creates an app in the working directory:
library(eviatlas)
eviatlas()If you want to run this app, you can do so using shiny::runApp; but note that neither Shiny nor any of the other dependencies of the app are installed by default with eviatlas.
We intend that later versions of eviatlas will allow you to:
- specify your own dataset from the command line
- choose which data tabs you want to display
- change the style of the dashboard
- provide your own user-defined cover pages
