age |
a numeric value (in months) between 3 and 228 depending on the age_range. |
sex |
preferably numeric (1 = Male, 2 = Female). Strings (such as "Male", "Female") can also be used. |
muac |
a numeric mid upper arm circumference value in cm. |
age_range |
age range in months. Input has to be characters. Options allowed are: "3-60" which is the default, or "60-228". |
graphtype |
A character input is required: "z-scores" or "percentiles". |
lwd |
Line width allows you to specify a numeric value that control the width of the line plots. By dafult, it is set to 1. |
line.color |
The color of the lines. It is set to "skyblue" by default. |
line.type |
Type of line such as: "solid", "dotted", "dashed", "blank", "dotdash", "twodash", "longdash" |
shape |
of the individual point (marker) |
size.label |
size of the label for calculated z-score or percentile |
size.score |
refers to the size of the text for the calculated z-scores (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3) or the percentiles. |
Notes |
Is FALSE by default. If set to TRUE, 'notes' will be printed on the console about the nature, range of variables allowed and number of records processed. |
Plots z-scores or percentiles with a mark indicating where the individual person lies within the standardized reference curves.
