get_wh: Get width and height of the forestplot

In forestploter: Create a Flexible Forest Plot

Get width and height of the forestplot

Description

get_wh can be used to find the correct width and height of the forestplot for saving, as the width and height are difficult to estimate otherwise.

Usage

get_wh(plot, unit = c("in", "cm", "mm"))

Arguments

plot	A forest plot object.
unit	Unit for the returned width and height. One of "in", "cm", or "mm".

Details

This is the natural size of the plot, where every column and row fits its content. By default a plot drawn in a larger space keeps this size and is centred. With fit of forest_style the CI columns, and the rows if asked for, take the space instead.

Value

A named vector of width and height

Examples

## Not run: 
 dt <- read.csv(system.file("extdata", "example_data.csv", package = "forestploter"))
 dt <- dt[1:6,1:6]

 dt$` ` <- paste(rep(" ", 20), collapse = " ")

 p <- forest(dt[,c(1:3, 7)],
             est = dt$est,
             lower = dt$low,
             upper = dt$hi,
             ci_column = 4)

# get_wh example
p_wh <- get_wh(p)
pdf('test.pdf',width = p_wh[1], height = p_wh[2])
plot(p)
dev.off()

## End(Not run)
