Details

The data provided must have been aggregated to the day level, if not funky output could result and it is possible nothing will be output but errors. There must be a date column and a value column, those are the only items required for this function to work.

This function is intentionally inflexible, it complains more and does less in order to force the user to supply a clean data-set.

Examples

data_tbl <- data.frame(
  date_col = seq.Date(
    from = as.Date("2020-01-01"),
    to   = as.Date("2022-06-01"),
    length.out = 365*2 + 180
    ),
  value = rnorm(365*2+180, mean = 100)
)

ts_calendar_heatmap_plot(
  .data          = data_tbl
  , .date_col    = date_col
  , .value_col   = value
  , .interactive = FALSE
)
