El botón de envío es útil, pero no he encontrado una forma elegante de suprimir la salida en la carga de la página inicial.

Por ejemplo, el tutorial de Shiny muestra la salida en carga.
http://rstudio.github.com/shiny/tutorial/#more-widgets

¿Cómo me aseguro de que no se llame a ninguna función reactiva hasta que se presione el botón de envío?

Aquí está el código en línea para el ejemplo vinculado anteriormente.

#ui.R
library(shiny)

# Define UI for dataset viewer application
shinyUI(pageWithSidebar(

  # Application title.
  headerPanel("More Widgets"),

  # Sidebar with controls to select a dataset and specify the number
  # of observations to view. The helpText function is also used to 
  # include clarifying text. Most notably, the inclusion of a 
  # submitButton defers the rendering of output until the user 
  # explicitly clicks the button (rather than doing it immediately
  # when inputs change). This is useful if the computations required
  # to render output are inordinately time-consuming.
  sidebarPanel(
    selectInput("dataset", "Choose a dataset:", 
                choices = c("rock", "pressure", "cars")),

    numericInput("obs", "Number of observations to view:", 10),

    helpText("Note: while the data view will show only the specified",
             "number of observations, the summary will still be based",
             "on the full dataset."),

    submitButton("Update View")
  ),

  # Show a summary of the dataset and an HTML table with the requested
  # number of observations. Note the use of the h4 function to provide
  # an additional header above each output section.
  mainPanel(
    h4("Summary"),
    verbatimTextOutput("summary"),

    h4("Observations"),
    tableOutput("view")
  )
))



#server.R
library(shiny)
library(datasets)

# Define server logic required to summarize and view the selected dataset
shinyServer(function(input, output) {

  # Return the requested dataset
  datasetInput <- reactive({
    switch(input$dataset,
           "rock" = rock,
           "pressure" = pressure,
           "cars" = cars)
  })

  # Generate a summary of the dataset
  output$summary <- renderPrint({
    dataset <- datasetInput()
    summary(dataset)
  })

  # Show the first "n" observations
  output$view <- renderTable({
    head(datasetInput(), n = input$obs)
  })
})
