auto.axis: Create ideal labels and values for a given numeric vector...

In BoutrosLab.plotting.general: Functions to Create Publication-Quality Plots

Create ideal labels and values for a given numeric vector (detects log scales)

Description

Takes a numeric vector and several parameters and outputs an object with values and labels ideal for given data

Usage

auto.axis(
    x,
    pretty = TRUE,
    log.scaled = NA,
    log.zero = 0.1,
    max.factor = 1,
    min.factor = 1,
    include.origin = TRUE,
    num.labels = 5,
    max.min.log10.diff = 2
)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector to be scaled
pretty	Parameter flag for if output should be in pretty format
log.scaled	parameter set to determine if scaling is logarithmic or not
log.zero	log 0 starting point
max.factor	maximum factor for y variable
min.factor	minimum factor for y variable
include.origin	flag to include the origin value or not
num.labels	number of labels to output
max.min.log10.diff	the max and min diffrence for dataset to be determined logarithmic

Examples

set.seed(223);
simple.data <- data.frame(
    x = sample(1:15, 10),
    y = LETTERS[1:10]
    );

auto.axis(simple.data$x)

data2 <- c(1,10,100,1000)

auto.axis(data2)
