# googleVis
[](https://travis-ci.org/mages/googleVis) [](https://cran.r-project.org/package=googleVis/) 
The googleVis package provides an interface between R and the [Google's charts tools](https://developers.google.com/chart/).
It allows users to create web pages with interactive charts based on R data frames. Charts are displayed locally via the R HTTP help server.
A modern browser with Internet connection is required and for some
charts a Flash player. The data remains local and is not uploaded to
Google.
You find [examples](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=googleVis/vignettes/googleVis_examples.html) of all googleVis function on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=googleVis/). Perhaps the best known example is the [motion chart](http://mages.github.io/googleVis/WorldBank.html), popularised by [Hans Rosling](http://www.gapminder.org) in his [2006 TED talk](http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen).
Please read [Google's Terms of Use](https://developers.google.com/terms/) before you start using the package.
## Installation
You can install the stable version from
[CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/package=googleVis/):
```s
install.packages('googleVis')
```
To install the current development version from github you need the [devtools package](https://cran.r-project.org/package=devtools/) and the other packages on which googleVis depends:
```s
install.packages(c("devtools","jsonlite", "knitr", "shiny", "httpuv"))
```
To install googleVis run:
```s
library(devtools)
install_github("mages/googleVis")
```
## Usage
```s
library(googleVis)
?googleVis
demo(googleVis)
```
See the googleVis package [vignettes](https://cran.r-project.org/package=googleVis/) for more details. For a brief introduction read the five page [R Journal article](https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2011-2/RJournal_2011-2_Gesmann+de~Castillo.pdf) and go through our [tutorial](http://decastillo.github.io/googleVis_Tutorial). More examples have been posted on Markus' [blog](http://lamages.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/googleVis).
