plot.fair_assessment: Plot a FAIR assessment as a scorecard

In rfair: Assess the FAIRness of Research Data Objects and Software

Plot a FAIR assessment as a scorecard

Description

Draws a compact, readable scorecard of a fair_assessment using base graphics (no extra package dependencies). It is the quickest way to see an assessment: a horizontal progress bar per FAIR category (or per metric), each annotated with its score and CMMI maturity level. See vignette("illustrating-fairness") for worked examples.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fair_assessment'
plot(
  x,
  type = c("category", "metric", "sunburst"),
  colors = .fair_cat_colors,
  show_maturity = (match.arg(type) == "category"),
  main = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A fair_assessment object returned by assess_fair().
type	What to draw. "category" (default) draws one bar per FAIR category (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) plus the overall score; "metric" draws one bar per individual metric, grouped and colored by category; "sunburst" draws a concentric sunburst (an inner ring of the F/A/I/R categories and an outer ring of the individual metrics, each filled in proportion to its score) with the overall FAIR percentage in the center.
colors	Named character vector of category fill colors, with names "F", "A", "I", "R".
show_maturity	Logical; annotate each bar with its maturity level. Defaults to TRUE for type = "category".
main	Title. Defaults to the resolved identifier (or the input id).
...	Ignored (for S3 method compatibility).

Value

x, invisibly. Called for the side effect of drawing a plot.
