A collegue of mine have developed a Custom R visual that consists if a facet plot. It has worked perfectly for some time now, both in desktop and on the web. It still works in desktop, but not on the web. The plot has dates on the x-axis that are displayed correctly in desktop but not on the web. Has there been some update recently causing this problem? How can the issue be solved?
Hi, @Anonymous ,
What packages are your colleagues using? GGplot2 or just basic R?
Base on your description, this should be a problem with PowerBI Service itself (maybe caused by some updates recently), but it may be solved by changing the visual margins. You can show part of your R code here.
Thank you for your answear.
We tried to change the margins but it did not solve the problem.
The following packages are used: ggplot2, dplyr, plotly, tidyr, RColorBrewer, ggthemes, extrafontdb
Part of the facetplot code is provided below:
g<-ggplot(data = totalLong, aes(fill = eval(parse(text="Fill")), x = eval(parse(text=XName)), y = eval(parse(text="y")), text=paste0("Fill: ",Fill,"
","T: ",round(y,0),"
",XName,": ",eval(parse(text=XName))))) + geom_bar(stat="identity", position="stack",width = 1.2) + geom_segment(data = hlineData,aes(x=x,y=segY,xend=xe, yend=ye,fill=NULL,size=TotalLineSize,color=TotalColor,linetype=TotalLineType,text="")) + scale_size_identity() + scale_colour_identity() + scale_linetype_identity() + Theme + ylab(ylabel) + facet_grid(.~eval(parse(text=FacetName)), space = "free_x", scales = "free_x") + theme(strip.background = element_rect(fill = NA), panel.spacing = unit(0.5, "lines"), panel.grid.minor=element_blank(), panel.grid.major=element_blank(), axis.text.x = element_text(angle=90), axis.ticks.x=element_blank(), legend.title=element_blank(), axis.title.x =element_blank(), axis.title =element_text(size = titletextSize, colour = colLabel), axis.text = element_text(size = axisTextSize), legend.text=element_text(size=legendtextSize), panel.background = element_rect(fill="white"), text=element_text(family="Segoe UI"), strip.text.x = element_text(size = 14, family = "Segoe UI"), legend.position=LegendPosition) + paletteTheme + scale_x_discrete(expand=c(0,0)) + scale_y_continuous(limits=c(0,sumTotal+130), breaks=seq(0,sumTotal,100),expand=c(0,0)) p = ggplotly(g,tooltip="text") %>% config(displayModeBar = F) %>% layout(hoverlabel=list(bgcolor="white"))
