addtable2plot: Add a table of values to a plot

In plotrix: Various Plotting Functions

Add a table of values to a plot

Description

Displays a table of values at a user-specified position on an existing plot

Usage

 addtable2plot(x,y=NULL,table,lwd=par("lwd"),bty="n",bg=par("bg"),
  cex=1,xjust=0,yjust=1,xpad=0.1,ypad=0.5,box.col=par("fg"),text.col=par("fg"),
  display.colnames=TRUE,display.rownames=FALSE,hlines=FALSE,vlines=FALSE,
  title=NULL)

Arguments

x,y	Either x and y coordinates to locate the table or an ‘⁠xy.coords⁠’ object.
table	A data frame, matrix or similar object that will be displayed.
lwd	The line width for the box and horizontal dividers.
bty	Whether to draw a box around the table ("o") or not ("n").
bg	The background color for the table.
cex	Character expansion for the table.
xjust,yjust	Positioning for the table relative to ‘⁠x,y⁠’.
xpad,ypad	The amount of padding around text in the cells as a proportion of the maximum width and height of the strings in each column.
box.col	The color for the box and lines.
text.col	The color for the text.
display.colnames	Whether to display the column names in the table.
display.rownames	Whether to display the row names in the table.
hlines	Whether to draw horizontal lines between each row of the table.
vlines	Whether to draw vertical lines between each column of the table.
title	Optional title placed over the table.

Details

‘⁠addtable2plot⁠’ displays the values in ‘⁠table⁠’ at a position in user coordinates specified by ‘⁠x,y⁠’. The two justification arguments, ‘⁠xjust⁠’ and ‘⁠yjust⁠’ are the same as in the ‘⁠legend⁠’ function, and ‘⁠addtable2plot⁠’ has been programmed to be as similar to ‘⁠legend⁠’ as possible. The function now accepts the positional arguments such as "topright" if passed as ‘⁠x⁠’. The defaults are those that were most popular in scientific journals at the time of programming.

If ‘⁠bg⁠’ is a matrix of colors of the same dimensions as ‘⁠x⁠’, those colors will be the backgrounds of the cells. The default is no background color.

Examples

 testdf <- data.frame(Before = c(10, 7, 5, 9), During = c(8, 6, 2, 5),
  After = c(5, 3, 4, 3))
 rownames(testdf) <- c("Red", "Green", "Blue", "Lightblue")
 barp(testdf, main = "Test addtable2plot", ylab = "Value",
  names.arg = colnames(testdf), col = 2:5)
 # show most of the options including the christmas tree colors
 abg <- matrix(c(2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8), nrow=4, ncol=3)
 addtable2plot(2, 8, testdf, bty = "o", display.rownames = TRUE, hlines = TRUE,
  vlines = TRUE, title = "The table", bg = abg)
