# Plover
An approach to using Vega in R Markdown.
## Examples
[netbek.github.io/plover](https://netbek.github.io/plover)
## Installation
1. Install system dependencies:
```
sudo apt-get install build-essential curl g++ gcc python-dev
```
2. Install NVM and Node 8.x:
```
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.33.8/install.sh | bash
source ~/.bashrc
nvm install v8.9.4
nvm alias default v8.9.4
```
3. Install Node dependencies:
```
cd /path/to/plover
npm install
```
4. Install R dependencies:
```
install.packages(c("jsonlite", "purrr", "rmarkdown"))
```
## Usage
To get started, open `/vega/index.Rmd` in RStudio.
A Vega-Lite spec can be supplied in long-form, or generated with [Finch](https://github.com/netbek/finch), as done in this example.
A global theme is stored in `/vega/theme.json`. Remember to knit the document after making changes.
