Displayr

Displayr doesn't currently support gganimate. R-based Calculations only currently support certain classes, like htmlwidget or matrix, among others. The DS team tried a variety of methods to automatically generate the GIF, trying different renderers, even using other packages like _animation_ or _gifski_, but unfortunately nothing worked.

Ability to change font color/ size in Custom Calculations without coding.

User writes: “In our survey we had a statement of text that the respondent first highlighted the words or phrases they liked (in yellow). Then, on the next question we gave them the same statement and had them highlight (in red) the words or phrases they didn't like. As a result of this, I have a frequency count of how many times each word in the statement was selected as like and dislike. I would like to create a page in my document that shows the statement (not a table) and then some sort of highlighting/coloring in yellow (with a gradient, the higher the count, the darker the color) of the words that are liked and then the words that are disliked. Is there any way to present this in DisplayR?”

Allow conditional formatting of calculation grid cells

Sometimes users may want to do something in R code across the entire data set, but they cannot reference the entire data set in R code (likely due to the fact it is so much data). However, they should have the flexibility to do this for small data sets, or have the option to allow for large objects for larger data sets.

There are several instances of users performing long-running R calculations who will be required to leave their Displayr documents open in order for the calculation to complete (or have a chance at completing). This feature request is a suggestion to allow users to keep long-running calculations calculating even if the document is not open in any browser.

Allow users to dynamically sort the rows/columns of a calculation grid. Similar to what the Rule (Sort Rows Automatically when the data changes) does.

This article suggests this might be possible https://help.displayr.com/hc/en-us/articles/4411287250447-How-to-Add-Scrolling-to-an-Autofit-or-CreateCustomTable-R-Table but I've not been able to get it to work. Need to be able to set the column widths for the overflow to work for a horizontal scroll bar.

Let's say that a user has a tracking study where and they want to display the column sample size for the most recent wave in a text box. If the data was static (i.e., no more waves would be added), we could easily do this using a dynamic text box that referenced a single value in a table. However, since the data updates with newer waves of data, the input table wouldn't be static, as the "last" column would change with each update. So, instead, users are forced to use R code to rig up a custom calculation that shows the column label and column sample size for the ncol of the table. I suggest that we update the dynamic text box options to allow users to reference columns left/right, similar to what we can do for visualizations. It would also be helpful to add the option for the columns to be dynamically referenced to support changing column headers as well.

A customer is using this to pull in information selected in the combo box and would like the text to automatically be wrapped when it reaches the length of the text box.
