playIcon button missing

[aniruhil]

The playIcon button does not show up, neither in the RStudio viewer nor if I knit to html (with/without framewidget). I must have failed to activate some option?

I did try loading fontawesome and then specifying playIcon = fa_icon("play")

sample code and output + sessionInfo are shown below.

library(highcharter)
library(jsonlite)
library(tidyverse)
URL <- "http://graphics8.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2016/01/15/drug-deaths/c23ba79c9c9599a103a8d60e2329be1a9b7d6994/data.json"

data("uscountygeojson")
data("unemployment")

data <-  fromJSON(URL) %>% 
  tbl_df() %>% 
  gather(year, value, -fips) %>% 
  mutate(year = sub("^y", "", year),
         value = ifelse(is.na(value), 0, value))

head(data)
#> # A tibble: 6 x 3
#>   fips  year  value
#>   <chr> <chr> <dbl>
#> 1 01001 2002      1
#> 2 01003 2002      2
#> 3 01005 2002      0
#> 4 01007 2002      1
#> 5 01009 2002      2
#> 6 01011 2002      0

ds <- data %>% 
  group_by(fips) %>% 
  do(item = list(
    fips = first(.$fips),
    sequence = .$value,
    value = first(.$value))) %>% 
  .$item

highchart(type = "map") %>% 
  hc_add_series(data = ds,
                name = "drug deaths per 100,000",
                mapData = uscountygeojson,
                joinBy = "fips",
                borderWidth = 0.01) %>% 
  hc_colorAxis(stops = color_stops()) %>%  
  hc_title(text = "How the Epidemic of Drug Overdose Deaths Ripples") %>% 
  hc_legend(layout = "vertical", reversed = TRUE,
            floating = TRUE, align = "right") %>% 
  hc_add_theme(hc_theme_smpl()) %>% 
  hc_motion(
    enabled = TRUE,
    axisLabel = "year",
    labels = sort(unique(data$year)),
    series = 0,
    updateIterval = 50,
    magnet = list(
      round = "floor",
      step = 0.1
    )
  )

and the resulting figure is here:

This issue is still present under 0.8.2.

@jbkunst ... same for me : play and pause button is displayed and working but without the fontawesome icons on it as in the screenshot of @aniruhil

[MERE55]

Are there any news available for this issue ?

[ghost]

Also getting this issue, did you ever come up with a workaround or method to change the location of the motion button? @MERE55 @wergeld @aniruhil

[aniruhil]

None so far that I have seen, @adamivisonnhs

[MERE55]

... unfortunately no change or workaround so far ...

@jbkunst do you think there will be a fix for this anytime soon?... linked to this issue perhaps https://github.com/TorsteinHonsi/Motion-Highcharts-Plugin/issues/23 ?

fontawesome 4 -> 5 renamed "fa fa-play" -> "fas fa-play" and "fa fa-pause" -> "fas fa-pause"

I have also come across github repos with the same issue

@MERE55 @aniruhil @wergeld

Could you try adding this dependency at the top of your ui function (inside tagList) in shiny:

fontawesome::fa_html_dependency()

It fixed the issue for me

[aniruhil]

@admivsn Glad it worked! Unfortunately no such luck on one machine. Will see if this works on the other machine next week. Perplexing.

[aniruhil]

No luck on an M1 Mini either. sessionInfo() details follow.
