The TriplotGUI tool can be accessible online at here. If you want to use TriplotGUI as a stand-alone application (using it only on a local computer), please follow the instruction below.
Install packages
To install and use TriplotGUI as a stand-alone application on your local computer, start by opening your R console or RStudio. Then, install the required packages by running the following code:
Show the code
if (!require(remotes)) {
install.packages("remotes") # Install the package if it's not available.
library(remotes) # Load it after installation.
}
remotes::install_gitlab("YingxiaoYan/TriplotGUI")During installation, you may encounter prompts in your console. For package updates, it is recommended to choose “3. None”. If asked whether you want to install from source packages that need compilation, select “No”. When prompted about updating all, some, or none, it is advisable to choose “n”.
Load libraries
Once the installation is complete, load the TriplotGUI library by executing:
Show the code
library(TriplotGUI)Change the maximize size of data file allowed
If you wish to change the maximum allowed data file size (the default is 5 MB), you can specify your preferred maximum size using the following code:
Show the code
filesize=100 ##MB
options(shiny.maxRequestSize=filesize*1024^2)Activate the user interface
To activate the graphical user interface, run:
Show the code
TriplotGUI_shiny()This will launch the TriplotGUI application on your local machine. Keep in mind that larger datasets may slow down the tool’s performance, so it is recommended to perform some variable selection before using very large datasets.
