Defines functions AdjustSymbols

Documented in AdjustSymbols

#' @title AdjustSymbols.
#' @description \code{AdjustSymbols} will generate plotting character and color vectors based
#'   on experimental factors.#'
#' @details Using a fixed color and symbol scheme indicating samples from different groups
#'   throughout all figures of a analysis workflow is a reasonable decision. This function
#'   allows to specify both and attach it to a sample table for further use.
#' @param cols Factor (color output) or numeric (grey-scale output) vector or NULL (omitted).
#' @param pchs Factor vector or NULL (omitted).
#' @param colorset Color definitions for the factor levels of `cols` (can be omitted to use default values).
#' @param symbolset Plotting character definitions for the factor levels of `pchs` (can be omitted to use default values).
#' @return Either a vector (if one parameter of `cols` and `pchs` remains NULL), a data frame
#'   with columns `cols` and `pchs` (if both are provided and of equal length) or a list of
#'   length 2 (if both are provided and of different length). Will be used by several plotting
#'   functions of the package internally.
