shortenStrings: Shorten a string to a maximum length and indicate shorting by...
In PTXQC: Quality Report Generation for MaxQuant and mzTab Results
shortenStrings R Documentation
Shorten a string to a maximum length and indicate shorting by appending '..'
Description
Some axis labels are sometimes just too long and printing them will either
squeeze the actual plot (ggplot) or make the labels disappear beyond the margins (graphics::plot)
One ad-hoc way of avoiding this is to shorten the names, hoping they are still meaningful to the viewer.
Usage
shortenStrings(x, max_len = 20, verbose = TRUE, allow_duplicates = FALSE)
Arguments
x
Vector of input strings
max_len
Maximum length allowed
verbose
Print which strings were shortened
allow_duplicates
If shortened strings are not discernible any longer, consider the short version valid (not the default), otherwise (default) return the full string (–> no-op)
Details
This function should be applied AFTER you tried more gentle methods, such as delLCP or simplifyNames.
Value
A vector of shortened strings
See Also
delLCP, simplifyNames
Examples
r = shortenStrings(c("gamg_101", "gamg_101230100451", "jurkat_06_100731121305", "jurkat_06_1"))
all(r == c("gamg_101", "gamg_101230100..", "jurkat_06_1007..", "jurkat_06_1"))
