LAPOP Bar/Histogram Graphs

Description

This function creates dataframes which can then be input in lapop_hist for showing a bar graph using LAPOP formatting.

Usage

lpr_hist(
  data,
  outcome,
  filesave = "",
  cfmt = "",
  sort = "xv",
  order = "lo-hi",
  keep_nr = FALSE
)

Arguments

`data`	A survey object. The data that should be analyzed.
`outcome`	Character. Outcome variable of interest.
`filesave`	Character. Path and file name to save the dataframe as csv.
`cfmt`	Character. Changes the format of the numbers displayed above the bars. Uses sprintf string formatting syntax. Default is whole numbers.
`sort`	Character. On what value the bars are sorted. Options are "y" (for the value of the outcome variable), "xv" (default; for the underlying values of the x variable), "xl" (for the labels of the x variable, i.e., alphabetical).
`order`	Character. How the bars should be sorted. Options are "hi-lo" or "lo-hi" (default).
`keep_nr`	Logical. If TRUE, will convert "don't know" (missing code .a) and "no response" (missing code .b) into valid data (value = 99). The default is to examine valid responses only. Default: FALSE.
