How Can We Plot Highcarts Organization Chart In R Language?

We are trying to plot this organization chart from https://www.highcharts.com/docs/chart-and-series-types/organization-chart in R language We have build this plot with highcharter

Solution 1:

Here you have a sample code:

library(highcharter)

highchart() %>%
  hc_chart(type = 'organization', inverted = TRUE) %>%
  hc_title(text = 'Highcharts Org Chart') %>%
  hc_add_series(
    name = 'Highsoft',
    data = list(
      list(from = 'Shareholders', to = 'Board'),
      list(from = 'Board', to = 'CEO'),
      list(from = 'CEO', to = 'CTO'),
      list(from = 'CEO', to = 'CPO'),
      list(from = 'CEO', to = 'CSO'),
      list(from = 'CEO', to = 'CMO'),
      list(from = 'CEO', to = 'HR'),
      list(from = 'CTO', to = 'Product'),
      list(from = 'CTO', to = 'Web'),
      list(from = 'CSO', to = 'Sales'),
      list(from = 'CMO', to = 'Market')
    ),
    levels = list(
      list(level = 0, color = 'silver', dataLabels = list(color = 'black'), height = 55),
      list(level = 1, color = 'silver', dataLabels = list(color = 'black'), height = 55),
      list(level = 2, color = '#980104'),
      list(level = 4, color = '#359154')
    ),
    nodes = list(
      list(id = 'Shareholders'),
      list(id = 'Board'),
      list(id = 'CEO', title = 'CEO', name = 'Grethe Hjetland', image = 'https://wp-assets.highcharts.com/www-highcharts-com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/12132317/Grethe.jpg'),
      list(id = 'HR', title = 'HR/CFO', name = 'Anne Jorunn Fjarestad', color = '#007ad0', image = 'https://wp-assets.highcharts.com/www-highcharts-com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/12132314/AnneJorunn.jpg', column = 3, offset = '75%'),
      list(id = 'CTO', title = 'CTO', name = 'Christer Vasseng', color = '#007ad0', image = 'https://wp-assets.highcharts.com/www-highcharts-com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/12140620/Christer.jpg', column = 4, layout = 'hanging'),
      list(id = 'CPO', title = 'CPO', name = 'Torstein Honsi', image = 'https://wp-assets.highcharts.com/www-highcharts-com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/12131849/Torstein1.jpg', column = 4),
      list(id = 'CSO', title = 'CSO', name = 'Anita Nesse', image = 'https://wp-assets.highcharts.com/www-highcharts-com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/12132313/Anita.jpg', column = 4, layout = 'hanging'),
      list(id = 'CMO', title = 'CMO', name = 'Vidar Brekke', image = 'https://wp-assets.highcharts.com/www-highcharts-com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/13105551/Vidar.jpg', column = 4, layout = 'hanging'),
      list(id = 'Product', name = 'Product developers'),
      list(id = 'Web', name = 'Web devs, sys admin'),
      list(id = 'Sales', name = 'Sales team'),
      list(id = 'Market', name = 'Marketing team')
    ),
    colorByPoint = TRUE,
    color = '#007ad0',
    dataLabels = list(color = 'white'),
    borderColor = 'white',
    nodeWidth = 65
  ) %>%
  hc_tooltip(outside = TRUE)

You can see the R structure. If you want to use JavaScript code in it, you can use JS() method. More examples of Highcharts in R (with JS() method) you can find in my StackOverflow profile in 'Answers' tab.

Let me know if you have further questions.

edit: some properties (like color) don't work in Highcharter wrapper. I suggest creating a GitHub ticket on Highcharter repo: https://github.com/jbkunst/highcharter/issues Maybe the author of the wrapper will know more.
