Create an Interactive Parallel Coordinates Plot with plotly

Generates a customizable interactive parallel coordinates plot using plotly, supporting dimension selection, color mapping, and font styling.

Usage

parallelCoordinatesPlot(
  data,
  dimensions,
  color.by = NULL,
  color.scale = "Viridis",
  line.opacity = 0.5,
  line.width = 1,
  show.colorbar = TRUE,
  label.font.size = 12,
  label.font.color = "black",
  label.font.family = "Arial",
  tick.font.size = 10,
  tick.font.color = "black",
  tick.font.family = "Arial",
  title.text = "",
  title.font.size = 16,
  title.font.family = "Arial",
  title.font.color = "black",
  bgcolor = "#FFFFFF"
)

Numeric, opacity of lines between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5.

line.width

Numeric, width of lines in pixels. Default: 1.

show.colorbar

Logical, whether to show the colorbar. Default: TRUE.

label.font.size

Numeric, font size for dimension labels. Default: 12.

label.font.color

Character, hex color for dimension labels. Default: "black".

label.font.family

Character, font family for dimension labels. Default: "Arial".

tick.font.size

Numeric, font size for axis tick labels. Default: 10.

tick.font.color

Character, hex color for axis tick labels. Default: "black".

tick.font.family

Character, font family for axis tick labels. Default: "Arial".
