Can D3.js visualization library be integrated in JASP #1050

Closed tomtomme closed 3 years ago

tomtomme commented 3 years ago

I have no clue if you could even add javascript to the JASP code base, but D3.js seems like a very powerful solution to enhance graphing / plotting capabilities of JASP. See: https://flowingdata.com/2020/11/11/tour-of-the-d3-ecosystem/

@vandenman Can you have a look if it is something we could use for plot editing?

vandenman commented 3 years ago

Although D3.js certainly is a power graphing library, it would require a complete rewrite of all plots (which are currently written in R) as well as javascript integration into R. I suppose integrating javascript into R is possible with V8, but to do something like that we're talking years rather than weeks or months. I see more potential in something like plotly. However, plotly might introduce a kind of watermark and might also complicate editing or saving figures to different formats (e.g., pdf, svg).

Also for your information: we will already implementing some plot editing features, that will be available in 0.15
