Let's move the user input to be in the chart it impacts.
This exercise is part of the course
Building Dashboards with flexdashboard
Exercise instructions
- Move the slider from the sidebar to the Trip Durations chart, above the plot.
- Remove the sidebar from the dashboard.
- Note the layout of the input slider and the plot in the chart and how it does (or does not) fill the box appropriately.
