In clinDataReview: Clinical Data Review Tool

Get dimensions for a clinical data plot

Description

This function set sensitive defaults dimensions for a plot in the package. This includes:

• setting a default width for a figure to fit in a standard clinical data review report

• increasing the figure height:

  • for facetted plot, ensuring that each facet is relatively squared

  • if a caption, subtitle, title, title for the x-axis are specified

  • if a legend is set at the bottom or the top of the plot

• increasing the figure width if a legend is set at the left or the right of the plot

Usage

getSizePlot(
  width = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  gg = NULL,
  nrow = 1L,
  ncol = 1L,
  title = NULL,
  subtitle = NULL,
  caption = NULL,
  xLab = NULL,
  facet = FALSE,
  includeLegend = TRUE,
  legendPosition = "right",
  y = NULL
)

Arguments

width	Numeric, width of the plot in pixels, 800 by default.
height	Numeric, height of the plot in pixels, 500 by default.
gg	ggplot
nrow	single-length integer specifying the number of facet rows in the plot. (default = 1) Overwritten if gg is specified.
ncol	single-length integer specifying the number of facet columns in the plot. (default = 1) Overwritten if gg is specified.
title	String with title for the plot.
subtitle	String with subtitle. The subtitle is included at the top left of the plot, below the title.
caption	String with caption. The caption is included at the bottom right of the plot. Please note that this might overlap with vertical or rotated x-axis labels.
xLab	String with label for xVar.
facet	Logical, if TRUE the plot contains facets.
includeLegend	Logical, if TRUE (by default) a legend is available in the plot.
legendPosition	String with position of the legend, among: 'top'/'left'/'bottom'/'right', 'right' by default.
y	Character vector or factor with elements in the y-axis, or list of such vectors. If a list is provided, the maximum height obtained across the different list elements is used.

Value

Numeric vector with width ('width') and height ('height') of the plot in pixels.
