The original Penguins_ShinyApp App displays a dot plot that shows the body mass of penguins and the islands they belong to. The slider tool can be manipulated so that the data will be presented in the interactive table.
The updated version Penguins_ShinyApp2.0 App displays a cool-blue plot that shows the average weight of penguins in different islands. By choosing the range via a slide bar, users can locate which island(s) they can find the targeted weight penguins. Other functions like downloading data are kept. The new version is more user-friendly.
- Slider Tool: allows user to select for body mass data from min 2700 to max 6300 (g)
- Download button: The selected data can be downloaded using the Download selected data button.
- Interactive Table: Click Tab Table, the users will see the other information of the penguins within selected body mass range.
- Add a checkbox which can show variables in certain columns of the raw data
- Add a plot in a new tab that can show average weights of penguins in different islands
- A slide bar was moved to the tab that includes the plot function, so it would be more convenient for users
- A new theme was applied to the App that looks more like the cool environment penguins living in
