Installation
GitHub
# Install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("R-CoderDotCom/calendR")
CRAN
install.packages("calendR")
Yearly calendar
library(calendR)
calendR() # Defaults to the current year
calendR(year = 2020, # Year
mbg.col = 2, # Background color for the month names
months.col = "white", # Text color of the month names
special.days = c(1, 50, 12, 125, 80, # Color days of the year
99, 102, 205, 266, 360),
special.col = "pink", # Color of the special.days
months.pos = 0.5) # Horizontal alignment of the month names
Monthly calendar
calendR(year = 2028, month = 1)
calendR(month = 7, year = 2022,
special.days = c(1, 5, 12, 28), # Color days of the month
text = "Visit\nhttps://r-coder.com/", # Add some text
text.pos = c(1, 5, 12, 28)) # Where to add the text
Custom start and end date
calendR(from = "2020-09-01", # Start date
to = "2021-05-31", # End date
lty = 0, # Line type
title = "2020-2021", # Title
start = "M", # Start on Mondays
months.pos = 0) # Left-align month names
Start of the week (Monday or Sunday)
# calendR(month = 1, start = "S") # Week starts on Sunday (default)
calendR(month = 1, start = "M") # Week starts on Monday
Orientation ("landscape" or "portrait")
# calendR(year = 2021, orientation = "landscape") # Default
calendR(year = 2021, orientation = "portrait")
Specify the number of columns
The following will override the orientation argument:
calendR(year = 2021, ncol = 2)
Calendar heatmap (Gradient)
calendR(year = 2021, special.days = 1:365,
gradient = TRUE, # Needed to create the heat map
special.col = rgb(1, 0, 0, alpha = 0.6), # Higher color
low.col = "white") # Lower color
Gradient for certain days
# Data
my_data <- runif(20, 10, 20)
# Create a vector where all the values are
# a bit lower than the lowest value of your data
# (This will make the trick)
days <- rep(min(my_data) - 0.05, 365)
# Fill the days you want with your data
days[20:39] <- my_data
calendR(year = 2021,
special.days = days,
gradient = TRUE, # Needed to create the heat map
special.col = rgb(1, 0, 0, alpha = 0.6), # Higher color
low.col = "white") # In this case, the color of the values out of the gradient
Gradient with two colors (GitHub version only)
# Data
team <- c("A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A", "A")
opponent <- c("B", "C", "D", "B", "D", "C", "D", "B", "B", "D")

# This is the day of year with October 1, 2021 set as Day 1

title = "Oct - May 2021",
subtitle = "Gradient Based on Ranking",
title.size = 40,

orientation = "l")
Add several events
# Vector of NA which length is the number of days of the year or month
myfills <- rep(NA, 365)
# myfills <- rep(NA, 366) # For leap years
# Add the events to the desired days
myfills[c(1:4, 50, 300:315)] <- "Holidays"
myfills[16] <- "Birthday"
calendR(special.days = myfills,
special.col = 2:3, # Add as many colors as events
legend.pos = "right") # Add a legend if desired
Colors order
The colors are displayed based on the levels of the factor of the categorical variable.
# Current order:
levels(factor(myfills)) # "Birthday" "Holidays"
#------
# Way 1
#------
calendR(special.days = myfills,
special.col = 3:2, # Change the order to match the desired colors
legend.pos = "right")
#------
# Way 2
#------
# Desired order and colors
desired_order <- c("Holidays", # (2: red)
"Birthday") # (3: green)
# Order the colors based on the desired order
ordered_colors <- c(2, 3)[order(desired_order)]
calendR(special.days = myfills,
special.col = ordered_colors, # Ordered colors
legend.pos = "right") # Add a legend if desired
Several events with custom start and end dates
start_date <- "2020-04-01"
end_date <- "2020-12-31"
custom_dates <- seq(as.Date(start_date), as.Date(end_date), by = "1 day")
events <- rep(NA, length(custom_dates))
# Time difference
dif <- 365 - length(custom_dates)
myfills <- rep(NA, length(custom_dates))
# Specify the dates as in a 365 days calendar and substract the time difference
myfills[c(180:210) - dif] <- "Holidays"
myfills[215 - dif] <- "Birthday"
calendR(from = start_date, to = end_date,
special.days = myfills, special.col = 2:3, legend.pos = "bottom")
Weekends
# Calendar with highlighted weekends (Saturday and Sunday)
calendR(year = 2023, special.days = "weekend")
Custom weekends
This example is useful to get the position of any day or days of a year, e.g., all the Mondays of 2022, all the Fridays and Saturdays of 2023, ...
# year: year of the calendar
# day: 0–6 day OR days of the week, starting on Sunday.
getDays<- function(year, day) {

days <- as.POSIXlt(paste(year, 1:ndays, sep="-"), format="%Y-%j")
days_position <- which(seq(start, end, by="1 day") %in% days[days$wday %in% day])
days_position <- days_position [!is.na(days_position)]
return(days_position )
}
# Get the weekeneds of 2023
arab_weekends <- getDays(2023, day = c(5, 6))
# Plot the calendar
calendR(year = 2023, special.days = arab_weekends)
Add week number (only on the GitHub development version)
calendR(year = 2021,
week.number = TRUE, # Adds the week number of the year for each week

month = 2,
week.number = TRUE, # Adds the week number of the year for each week
week.number.col = 2, # Color of the week numbers

Add background image
calendR(mbg.col = 4, # Background color for the month names
months.col = "white", # Text color of the month names
special.days = "weekend", # Color the weekends
special.col = "lightblue", # Color of the special.days
lty = 0, # Line type
weeknames = c("Mo", "Tu", # Week names
"We", "Th",
"Fr", "Sa",
"Su"),
title.size = 30, # Title size

bg.img = "https://i.pinimg.com/originals/10/1e/f6/101ef6a9e146b23de28fa2cd568ad17b.jpg") # Image
Lunar calendar
calendR(month = 1,
lunar = TRUE, # Add moons to monthly calendar
lunar.col = "gray60", # Color of the non-visible area of the moon
lunar.size = 7) # Size of the moons
Save as PDF
# Defaults to A4 size
calendR(year = 2021, orientation = "portrait", pdf = TRUE)
# Set a paper size (from A6 to A0)
calendR(year = 2021, orientation = "portrait", pdf = TRUE, papersize = "A6")
# Specify a custom document name
calendR(year = 2021, orientation = "portrait", pdf = TRUE, doc_name = "My_calendar")
