The goal of flexdashboard is to make it easy to create interactive dashboards for R, using R Markdown.
Use R Markdown to publish a group of related data visualizations as a dashboard.
Support for a wide variety of components including htmlwidgets; base, lattice, and grid graphics; tabular data; gauges and value boxes; and text annotations.
Flexible and easy to specify row and column-based layouts. Components are intelligently re-sized to fill the browser and adapted for display on mobile devices.
Storyboard layouts for presenting sequences of visualizations and related commentary.
Optionally use Shiny to drive visualizations dynamically.
