我正在尝试构建一个动画条形图，ggplot2并且magick它在“每天”的基础上增长。不幸的是，我的数据集中有一万个条目（几年中每天的日期和不同的类别），这使得处理非常缓慢。因此，我使用snow包来加快处理时间。ggplot()但是，在拆分数据并在集群中调用时遇到了麻烦。

magick需要按日期拆分数据以进行动画处理，并且snow需要按集群拆分以进行并行处理。所以，我得到了一个列表列表，这会ggplot()在clusterApply(). 列表的结构当然取决于我拆分数据的顺序（请参阅示例代码中的版本 1 和 2），但还没有版本导致成功。我想在使用时访问列表元素data$date不起作用，因为现在列表中有更多级别。

所以，我的问题是：是否可以通过ggplot2这种方式使用并行处理来构建动画图？

这是可视化我的问题的示例代码（我试图尽可能地对其进行结构化）：

谢谢你的建议！

更新：使用降雪，代码更短，我没有得到同样的错误，但设备仍然没有产生情节。

使用时

img <- image_graph(1000, 700, res = 96)
out
dev.off()
animation <- image_animate(img, fps = 5)
animation

情节产生了。但是，调用out速度很慢，这就是为什么我必须避免使用此选项才能使其正常工作。

所以，我的解决方案：

  • 将日期拆分为ncores时段

  • 获取每个时期的图并将其保存为 GIF

  • 读回所有 GIF 并将它们组合起来

我会做

library(tidyverse)
library(gganimate)
x %>% 
  as.tibble() %>% 
  arrange(date) %>%  
  group_by(category) %>% 
  mutate(Sum=cumsum(value)) %>% 
  ggplot(aes(category, Sum, fill = category)) +
  geom_col(position = 'identity') + 
  ggtitle("{frame_time}") +
  transition_time(date) +
  ease_aes('linear') 
anim_save("GIF.gif")

在此处输入图像描述

如果数据太多，我建议将转换时间增加到几个月而不是几天。
