5. plotly
6. reshape2
7. data.table

Methodology

Serena has been developed using many different packages of the software R. These packages are used within the app during the data preparation for the plotting of the temporal trends.

The plots are obtained using mainly "ggplot2" package. The interactivity is given by "plotly" which is a JavaScript package that makes easier for the user to visualize and interact with the plot.
