export: Saves objects of class 'sparkline', 'sparkbar', 'sparkhist'...

In sparkTable: Sparklines and Graphical Tables for TeX and HTML

Description

Spark-Objects are plotted and saved into different file-formats while for objects of class sparkTable all required graphs are stored and the necessary code to include the graphical table in the desired format is returned to the promt.

Usage

  export(object, ...)
  ## S4 method for signature 'sparkline'
export(object, outputType="pdf", filename="sparkLine", ...)
  ## S4 method for signature 'sparkbar'
export(object, outputType="pdf", filename="sparkBar", ...)
  ## S4 method for signature 'sparkhist'
export(object, outputType="pdf", filename="sparkHist", ...)
  ## S4 method for signature 'sparkbox'
export(object, outputType="pdf", filename="sparkBox", ...)
  ## S4 method for signature 'sparkTable'
export(object, outputType="html", filename=NULL,
    graphNames="out",infonote=TRUE, scaleByCol=FALSE,...)
  ## S4 method for signature 'geoTable'
export(object, outputType="html", filename=NULL,
    graphNames="out", transpose=FALSE, include.rownames=FALSE,include.colnames=FALSE,
    rownames=NULL,colnames=NULL,...)

Arguments

object	an object of class 'sparkline', 'sparkbox' or 'sparkbar'.
outputType	for objects of class sparkline, sparkbar or sparkbox a character vector specifying the desired output formats. Supported formats are: 'pdf': a pdf image is produced 'eps': an eps image is procuded 'png': a png image is procuded 'svg': a svg image is produced For objects of class sparkTable a character vector specifying the desired output format, supported types are: "tex": latex output is produced "html": html output (using png-graphs) is generated "htmlsvg": html output (using svg-graphs) is generated
filename	the filename of the output (minus '.pdf', 'eps','.eps', 'svg' for single graphs, minus '.tex' or '.html' for graphical tables
graphNames	the main part of the single graphic files that are produced (minus '-someIndex.extension'
infonote	TRUE/FALSE if the latex command should be included in the output, only used for graphical tables (sparkTable)
scaleByCol	Either TRUE/FALSE to set the scaling for all columns or a TRUE/FALSE vector of the same length as the content object. Keeps the scaling the same in all rows of a column. This parameter is used only for graphical tables (sparkTable)
transpose	logical vector of length 1 defining if the plot be transposed (for geoTable-objects)
include.rownames	logical vector of length 1 defining if rownames should be included (for geoTable-objects)
include.colnames	logical vector of length 1 defining if colnames should be included (for geoTable-objects)
rownames	optional chracter vector specifying row names (for geoTable-objects)
colnames	optional chracter vector specifying column names (for geoTable-objects)
...	additional parameters to be passed, currently not used
