R script visuals limitations
R script visuals have some important limitations regarding the data they can handle, both as input and output:
- An R script visual can handle a data frame with only 150,000 rows. If there are more than 150,000 rows, only the first 150,000 rows are used and a relevant message is displayed on the image.
- R script visuals have an output size limit of 2 MB.
You must also be careful not to exceed the 5 minutes of runtime calculation for an R script visual in order to avoid a time-out error. Moreover, in order not to run into performance problems, note that the resolution of the R script visual plots is fixed at 72 DPI.
