No graph output when using googleVIS in Jupyter

[stefangeorge]

Using this works in R console:

plot(G)

but when typed into a cell in jupyter I get:

starting httpd help server ... done and no graph. So here is what I did. Into Anaconda 2.7.11, I installed R essentials

conda install -c r r-essentials started up jupyter

notebook jupyter installed needed reqs, XML and googleVIS, by typing this into a cell

options(repos=structure(c(CRAN="https://cloud.r-project.org/")))
install.packages('googleVis')
install.packages('XML')

typed this code into a cell

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(googleVis))
library(googleVis)
library(XML)
url <- "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_credit_rating"
x <- readHTMLTable(readLines(url), which=3)
levels(x$Rating) <- substring(levels(x$Rating), 4, 
                            nchar(levels(x$Rating)))
x$Ranking <- x$Rating
levels(x$Ranking) <- nlevels(x$Rating):1
x$Ranking <- as.character(x$Ranking)
x$Rating <- paste(x$Country, x$Rating, sep=": ")
G <- gvisGeoChart(x, "Country", "Ranking", hovervar="Rating",
                options=list(gvis.editor="S&P",
                             projection="kavrayskiy-vii",
                             colorAxis="{colors:['#91BFDB', '#FC8D59']}"))

then

plot(G)

This code works fine when typed directly into an R console and makes a nice map. But something is causing jupyter to choke on starting a server. I guess since jupyter itself is web page running in a server there is some sort of problem with a web page starting a server?

Hi there,

I don't use Jupyter myself and have therefore no experience, but I guess it good work similar to RMarkdown files.

The help files to plot.gvis and print.gvis have more information and examples on this.

I hop this helps.

Jupyter runs in a web browser that accesses a server that python starts on the local machine. I am not familiar with RMarkdown but will look into it. I just like using jupyter because it is so interactive and allows me to use python and R and julia all together.
