barplot for the number of users installation of a package

Description

This function is a first template for creating a barplot of the number of downloads a package had in a time period. This function is based on some other functions, have a look at the example for more details.

Usage

barplot_package_users_per_day(pkg_name, dataset, remove_dups = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

pkg_name	a string of the package we are interested in checking.
dataset	a dataset output from running read_RStudio_CRAN_data.
remove_dups	default is TRUE. Should the duplicate user ids (based on their ips) be removed. If TRUE, then the plot is the number of unique users who have downloaded our package everyday.
...	not in use.

Details

RStudio maintains its own CRAN mirror, https://cran.rstudio.com/ and offers its log files.

Value

Returns the total number of downloads of the package for that time period.

Examples

## Not run: 
# The first two functions might take a good deal of time to run (depending on the date range)
RStudio_CRAN_data_folder <- 
      download_RStudio_CRAN_data(START = '2013-04-02',
                                 END = '2013-04-05') 
                                 # around the time R 3.0.0 was released
my_RStudio_CRAN_data <- read_RStudio_CRAN_data(RStudio_CRAN_data_folder)
my_RStudio_CRAN_data <- format_RStudio_CRAN_data(my_RStudio_CRAN_data)
head(my_RStudio_CRAN_data)

                           dataset = my_RStudio_CRAN_data)

# older plots:
# barplots: (more functions can easily be added in the future)
