Create workflows for behind the scene processes

Question

[manali.rupji]

Hello All,

I wish to incorporate a workflow image (like Galaxy workflow) for my multi-step R/shiny application. Basically, I wish to provide the user with the exact input or parameters that were used at each step in forms of a flowchart output.

What could be a potential solution to achieve this? I heard tensor flow could be an option. My cursory research tells me that although it is meant for machine learning algorithms, it can be used for other non-machine language areas.

Could anybody suggest any alternative ways to achieve this?

Regards,

M

So you want to make a flowchart?

[manali.rupji]

Yes and within a shiny application.

I quite like DiagrammeR

I second DiagrammeR. Its my new favorite plotting package.

[manali.rupji]

Thanks! Yes, I came across that package, thanks for your advice. I 'll try using that.

Is it possible to build a flowchart using a generic app like draw.io and then embed that within Shiny?

[manali.rupji]

Playing within R would be handy so we could customize based on the number of steps the user decides to perform. Thanks for your input.
