dot-summary.SafeVote: summarises vote-totals for subsequent printing

In SafeVote: Election Vote Counting with Safety Features

summarises vote-totals for subsequent printing

Description

summarises vote-totals for subsequent printing

Usage

.summary.SafeVote(object, larger.wins = TRUE, reorder = TRUE)

Arguments

object	vector of total votes per candidate
larger.wins	TRUE if candidates are "voted in" rather than voted-out
reorder	TRUE if output data.frame columns should be in rank-order

Value

a data.frame with three columns and nc+1 rows, where nc is the number of candidates. The first column contains candidate names and a final entry named "Sum". The second column contains vote totals. The third column is a vector of chars which indicate whether the candidate has been elected. The data.frame has four named attributes carrying election parameters.

TODO: refactor into a modern dialect of R, perhaps by defining a constructor for an election_info S3 object with a summary method and a print method
