Manipulating combineWidgets objects about manipulatewidget HOT 3 OPEN

For point 2, have you tried to put the filter_slider in the header parameter ?

combineWidgets(header = filter_slider(...), ...)

Parameters header, footer, leftCol and rightCol can be used to insert arbitrary html elements around the charts.

I haven't tried that. It would probably display nicely, but I'm hoping for a fairly general solution, e.g. allowing the filter_slider to be w2() in my original example.

I guess appendWidget could work by setting the footer or rightCol elements in a new object, e.g. appendWidget(w3(), c12) could be done as combineWidget(c12, footer = w3()). This strikes me as ending up with a more complicated result, but maybe it would work better. I'll do some experiments.

After a little bit of experimentation:

1. I can use the filter_slider as a header or footer, but only with a new patch to the code in combineWidgets to get its dependencies. (The new patch is part of PR#47 now.) The spacing looks fine.

2. I can't put an htmlwidget into the header or footer, only HTML tags or text. filter_slider works because it isn't a widget, but something like

   library(leaflet)
   library(manipulateWidget)
   combineWidgets(leaflet(), footer = leaflet())

produces this image in the RStudio viewer:

i.e. the second widget is displayed as text.
