Combining Python and R

If you’d like to have Python and R actually interact, you’ll need to make a couple changes.

Setup

First, you’ll add engine: knitr to your yaml config section.

engine: knitr

Second, we’ll use R’s reticulate library to connect the two languages.

library(reticulate)

Import the data using pandas…

import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv("temperatures.csv", parse_dates=['Date'])
df.head()

        Date  Anomaly
0 1880-01-01    -0.30
1 1880-02-01    -0.21
2 1880-03-01    -0.18
3 1880-04-01    -0.27
4 1880-05-01    -0.14

…and graph it using ggplot.

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(py$df,aes(Date, Anomaly, group=1)) +
    geom_line()
