R Documentation

Create an indicator fiche for a given aggregation of countries.

Description

An auxiliary function to compile a rmarkdown file to produce the indicator fiche in html format within the output directory.

Usage

go_indica_fi(
  time_0 = NA,
  time_t = NA,
  timeName = NA,
  workDF = NA,
  indicaT = NA,
  indiType = c("highBest", "lowBest")[1],
  seleMeasure = "all",
  seleAggre = "EU27",
  x_angle = 45,
  data_res_download = FALSE,
  auth = "A.Student",
  dataNow = Sys.time(),
  outFile = NA,
  outDir = NA,
  pdf_out = FALSE,
  workTB = NULL,
  selfContained = FALSE
)

Arguments

`time_0`	starting time.
`time_t`	ending time.
`timeName`	name of the variable containing times (years).
`workDF`	name (string) of the dataset in the global environment containing all countries contributing to average.
`indicaT`	name of the considered indicator.
`indiType`	type of indicator "lowBest" or "highBest" (default).
`seleMeasure`	set of measures of convergence; this is a subset of the following collection of strings: "beta","delta", "gamma","sigma"; "all" is a shortcut for the whole set.
`seleAggre`	selection of member states, default 'EU27' ('custom' if not pre-coded).
`x_angle`	axis orientation for time labels, default 45.
`data_res_download`	should data and results be downloaded, default FALSE.
`auth`	author of this report, default 'A.Student'.
`dataNow`	date of production of this country fiche, default is current time.
`outFile`	name of the output file (without path), without extension.
`outDir`	output directory, eventually not existing (only one level allowed).
`pdf_out`	should the output be saved as PDF file? The default is FALSE.
`workTB`	a tibble containing data.
`selfContained`	TRUE if just one file is desired

Details

Note that most of function arguments are passed as strings of characters instead of object names. For example, if the object of a dataset in the workspace is myTB, the parameter is set like workDF='myTB' instead of workDF=myTB as one may expect. Furthermore, the dataset must be complete, that is without missing values. Note also that Internet connection should be available when invoking the function to properly rendering the results in the html file. The fiches have been tested with the browsers Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.
