Legend Functions for Strucplots

Description

These functions generate legend functions for residual-based shadings.

Usage

legend_resbased(fontsize = 12, fontfamily = "",
  x = unit(1, "lines"), y = unit(0.1,"npc"),
  height = unit(0.8, "npc"),
  width = unit(0.7, "lines"),
  digits = 2, pdigits = max(1, getOption("digits") - 2),
  check_overlap = TRUE, text = NULL,
  steps = 200, ticks = 10, pvalue = TRUE,  range = NULL)
legend_fixed(fontsize = 12, fontfamily = "", x = unit(1, "lines"), y = NULL,
  height = NULL, width = unit(1.5, "lines"), steps = 200,
  digits = 1, space = 0.05, text = NULL, range = NULL)

Arguments

fontsize	fontsize of title and p-value text.
fontfamily	fontfamily of all text.
x, y	objects of class "unit" indicating the coordinates of the title. For legend_fixed, the default for y is computed as to leave enough space for the specified text.
height, width	object of class "unit" indicating the height/width of the legend. For legend_fixed, the default for y is computed as to align upper margins of legend and actual plot.
digits	number of digits for the scale labels.
pdigits	number of digits for the p-value.
check_overlap	logical indicating whether overlap of scale labels should be inhibited or not.
space	For legend_fixed only: proportion of space between the tiles.
text	character string indicating the title of the legend.
steps	granularity of the color gradient.
ticks	number of scale ticks.
pvalue	logical indicating whether the p-value should be visualized under the scale or not.
range	Numeric vector of length 2 for setting the legend range. Computed from the residuals if omitted. NA values are replaced by the corresponding minimum / maximum of the residuals.

Details

These functions generate legend functions for residual-based shadings, visualizing deviations from expected values of an hypothesized independence model. Therefore, the legend uses a supplied shading function to visualize the color gradient for the residuals range. legend_fixed is inspired by the legend used in mosaicplot. For more details on the shading functions and their return values, see shadings.

Value

A function with arguments:

residuals	residuals from the fitted independence model to be visualized.
shading	shading function computing colors from residuals (see details).
autotext	character vector indicating the title to be used when no text argument is specified. Allows strucplot to generate sensible defaults depending on the residuals type.
