An interactive visualization tool for monitoring the evolution of optical properties of nanoparticles throughout synthesis reactions.
To use NanoUV-VIS in your PC, you will need first to install R statistical software. We recommend to use RStudio editor, in order to have a better experience with this Shiny application.
Second, you will need to install the following R packages: shiny, shinyjs, knitr, rmarkdown, shinycssloaders, plotly, plot3D, DT, crosstalk and htmlwidgets. To install them from CRAN, use the following R code:
install.packages(c("shiny", "shinyjs", "knitr", "rmarkdown", "shinycssloaders", "plotly", "plot3D", "DT", "crosstalk", "htmlwidgets"))After the local installation, you will be ready to run the application! Just type on R/RStudio console:
shiny::runGitHub("gfsarmanho/NanoUV-VIS")If there are no error messages, you are ready to enjoy NanoUV-VIS!
NOTE: Remember not to close R/RStudio after initiate the web application!
After start the application, you should see the following screen on your web browser:
Click in About tab to see an overview of the application, describing the way you should upload your UV-VIS data and the available interactive plots. For more detailed information and description of the tool using a real experiment, please check Calderon-Jimenez et. al, 2017.
In the following gif you will find some quick instructions to run NanoUV-VIS using an example data set.
Any suggestions or contributions to this project (comments, questions, typo corrections, etc.) are more than welcome! You can do it directly on this GitHub repository or mail to gfsarmanho@inmetro.gov.br and bcalderon@lacomet.go.cr.
