Rewrite tabplotd3 into htmlwidget

[edwindj]

tabplotd3 should be rewritten into a htmlwidget as proposed by @mtennekes in mtennekes/treemap#17

(planning to do so in september)

happy to help with this, especially as I am also working through the related and inspired-by-tabplot https://github.com/cmpolis/datacomb. The way you have designed it should make conversion relatively painless and easy.

[edwindj]

That would be great (always short on time...)
datacomb looks very nice!

I'll try to get a quick working prototype up today/tomorrow.

Not really what I call working, but we do get a htmlwidget output with https://github.com/timelyportfolio/tabplotd3/tree/htmlwidget. @edwindj, would love your thoughts on this first ugly prototype.

#devtools;:install_github("timelyportfolio/tabplotd3@htmlwidget")

library(tabplotd3)

itabplot(mtcars)

Current design seems like will generally require Shiny connection since tableplot doing all the work.

@edwindj, circling back on this. Did you have a chance to look?

[edwindj]

Not yet. Won't be until December...

Hey @edwindj. I just found this thread. I am using your tabplotd3 package and love the output! However, I have a huge data set and would like to loop through to generate >25 plots. I used the standard tabplot and generate svg files, but I'd like to use your package to generate html files as they're easier to read and compare than their svg counterparts.

Here's my question - is there any way to export the itabplot() output to an html file like saveWidget() allows?
