In EU-ECDC/EpiReport: Epidemiological Report

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

Function returning the disease-specific PNG map previously created and stored in a specific folder (see pathPNG argument) and that will be included in the epidemiological report at the bookmark location of the template report, depending of the type of map. Three type of maps can be included in the report:

Bookmark 'MAP_NB': Distribution of cases by country. An additional caption will be included at the location of the bookmark 'MAP_NB_CAPTION'.
Bookmark 'MAP_RATE': Distribution of cases per 100 000 population by country. An additional caption will be included at the location of the bookmark 'MAP_RATE_CAPTION'.
Bookmark 'MAP_ASR': Distribution of cases using age-strandardised rates per 100 000 population by country. An additional caption will be included at the location of the bookmark 'MAP_ASR_CAPTION'.

  reportParameters = EpiReport::AERparams,
  index = 1,
  pathPNG = system.file("maps", package = "EpiReport"),

)

`disease`	character string, disease code (default `"DENGUE"`).
`year`	numeric, year to produce the map for (default `2019`).
`reportParameters`	dataframe, dataset including the required parameters for the map and report production (default `AERparams`) (see specification of the dataset in the package vignette with `browseVignettes(package = "EpiReport")`)
`index`	integer, figure number
`pathPNG`	character string, full path to the folder containing the maps in PNG (default 'maps' folder included in the package `system.file("maps", package = "EpiReport")`)
`doc`	'Word' document (see `'officer'` package) in which to add the maps at the bookmark location. If doc is missing, `getMap` returns a preview of the PNG image.
