'steemr' is an open source R package for playing with Steem data in R environment. It is used to download, post process, analyze, and visualize Steem data on the basis of the powerful statistic power of R.

New Features

What features did I add?

New functions were added to the steemr pakcage, which now can retrieve the account data and the comment data and plot diagrams automatically.

• gaccounts() retrieves the account data from the server, makes a summary of the account data, and plots a time series of the daily new accounts automatically.

Here is an example, showing the daily new steem accounts in a diagram and a table from 2018/01/01 to 2018/07/01 produced by gaccounts() :

          date  Freq
1   2017-12-31  1161
2   2018-01-01  1397
3   2018-01-02  8638
4   2018-01-03  6901
5   2018-01-04  2660

182 2018-06-30   353
183 2018-07-01   321

• gcomments() retrieves the comment data from the server, makes a summary of the comment data, and plots a time series of the daily comments of a given ID automatically.

Here is an example , showing the daily comments (posts and replies) of my own in a diagram and a table produced by gcomments() :

        date Freq
1 2017-07-17    9
2 2017-07-18    3
3 2017-07-19    8
4 2017-07-20    9
5 2017-07-21    1
6 2017-07-22    4
...
311 2018-06-27   10
312 2018-06-28   10
313 2018-06-29    3
314 2018-06-30    4
315 2018-07-01   15
316 2018-07-02   10

These main functions are supported by some other functions:

• adailyf(), which produces a daily summary and a daily diagram from a give data set,
• pdate() and xatf(), which were tailored to plot time series of Steem data.

The old functions were renamed for better understanding. The meaning of the beginning letter in a function name:

• a: analysis
• g: get data
• p: plot a diagram

The script files were re-organized, according to the functions.

Some minor literal changes and small bugs were fixed as well.

How did I implement them?

I split the former 'R/steemr.R' into 'R/plothour.r', 'R/analysis.r', and 'R/get.r'.

I created new scripts 'R/internal.r' for internal used function, 'R/plot.r' for plotting functions, and 'R/import.r' for importing some external packages

I added the new functions into 'R/plot.r', 'R/analysis.r' and 'R/get.r'
