percentileBar: Adjust (stacked) bar chart representing percentiles

In svgtools: Manipulate SVG (Template) Files of Charts

Description

Adjusts the horizontal (XML attribute 'x') or vertical (XML attribute 'y') position as well as width/height of bar segments (XML elements of type 'rect') and optionally value labels (XML elements of type 'text'). First, values are ordered and transformed to differences between percentiles, providing a starting point and widths/heights for bar segments. Then, positions are calculated relative to a given frame (XML element of type 'rect') and the position of a value within the minimum and maximum of a given scale.
No value labels are possible for this type of bar chart.
For further description see stackedBar.

Usage

percentileBar(
  svg,
  frame_name,
  group_name,
  scale_real,
  values,
  alignment = "horizontal"
)

Arguments

svg	XML document with SVG content
frame_name	Name (attribute 'id') of frame (XML element 'rect') for positioning bar segments.
group_name	Name (attribute 'id') of group (XML element 'g') containing either bar segments or further groups, containing bar segments themselves.
scale_real	Numeric vector (e.g. c(0,100)) of arbitrary length. Only minimum and maximum are used for scaling of values.
values	Either a numeric vector, a numeric matrix or a dataframe with only numeric columns. If a vector is given, it corresponds to one bar (group of bar segments). If a matrix or dataframe is given, rows define the value set for several (stacked) bars grouped together.
alignment	Character value. Accepts 'horizontal' (default) or 'vertical'. See details.

Details

In contrast to stackedBar the value set(s) need(s) to have one more element than bar segments in each group.
For everything else, see stackedBar.

Value

XML document with SVG content

Examples

#read SVG file
fpath <- system.file("extdata", "fig9.svg", package="svgtools")
svg <- read_svg(file = fpath)

#adjust bars
set.seed(12345)
yy <- -2:2*15
percentiles <- data.frame(p5=rnorm(5,350,10)+yy, p25=rnorm(5,450,10)+yy, 
                          p50low=rnorm(5,510,10)+yy-1.5, p75=rnorm(5,560,10)+yy, 
                          p95=rnorm(5,640,10)+yy)
percentiles$p50upp <- percentiles$p50low+3
svg <- percentileBar(svg = svg, frame_name = "frame", group_name = "group",
                     scale_real = c(250,750), values = percentiles)
