Tonight I will give a talk at the Cambridge R user group about googleVis. Following my good experience with knitr and RStudio to create interactive reports, I thought that I should try to create the slides in the same way as well.
Christopher Gandrud’s recent post reminded me of deck.js, a JavaScript library for interactive html slides, which I have used in the past, but as Christopher experienced, it is currently not that straightforward to use with R and knitr.
Thus, I decided to try slidy in combination with knitr and pandoc. And it worked nicely.
I used RStudio again to edit my Rmd-file and knitr to generate the Markdown md-file output. Following this I run pandoc on the command line to convert the md-file into a single slidy html-file:pandoc -s -S -i -t slidy --mathjax Cambridge_R_googleVis_with_knitr_and_RStudio_May_2012.md -o Cambridge_R_googleVis_with_knitr_and_RStudio_May_2012.htmlEt volià, here is the result:
< !-- perl -p -i -e 's/incremental/non-incremental/g' Cambridge_R_googleVis_with_knitr_and_RStudio_May_2012.html
Of course, you can do this also in R or on the command line (Rscript -e "library(knitr);knit('Cambridge_R_googleVis_with_knitr_and_RStudio_May_2012.Rmd')"). –>
