The use of the folder button

[JauntyJJS]

Hi,

I apologize in advanced for asking a naive question

In the webpage, https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/autocogs/readme/README.html

There is this blue folder created beside the exclamation help button.

May I ask what is that and how do I create this folder in this R package ?

Thank you for the clarification

The folder button is activated when you have more than one display in a directory. If you create more than one display with the same path argument, but with different names, the icon will appear and you will be able to switch between the different displays.

Thank you for the help. I manage to get the folder to appear when I key in the following code

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
library(gapminder)
library(plotly)
library(trelliscopejs)

scatter <- function(d){

  p <- plot_ly(data = d , x = ~lifeExp, y = ~year, type = 'scatter',mode ="markers")
  return(p)

}

gapminder %>%
  group_by(country, continent) %>%
  nest() %>%
  mutate(panel = map_plot(data,scatter)) %>%
  trelliscope(name = "gapminder_lifeexp",path="./out", nrow = 2, ncol = 6, self_contained = FALSE)

gapminder %>%
  group_by(country, continent) %>%
  nest() %>%
  mutate(panel = map_plot(data,scatter)) %>%
  trelliscope(name = "gapminder_lifeexp2",path="./out", nrow = 2, ncol = 6, self_contained = FALSE)

However, when I set self_contained = TRUE, instead

Clicking on the black button gives me a blank screen instead

Not sure if this is a known issue already.

self_contained = TRUE is meant only for a single display. Multiple displays only work when stored in a directory, which inherently makes them not self-contained. This probably isn't documented well enough, and I should probably add something that warns you about self-contained when specifying a path that already contains other displays.
