Plot a mortaar_life_table or a mortaar_life_table_list

Description

Plot a mortaar_life_table or a mortaar_life_table_list. There are several different kinds of plots to explore the different variables. The parameter display allows to select the variables of interest.

Arguments

x	a mortaar_life_table or a mortaar_life_table_list.
display	a character vector. Displays the calculated variables as plots. These must include some of the alternatives dx for the proportion of deaths, qx for the probability of death, lx for the survivorship, ex for the life expectancy and rel_popx for the population age structure.
line_vis	optional string. Differentiate groups either by "linetype" or by "color". Default to "linetype".
prefer.ggplot	should ggplot be preferred, if available. Default to TRUE.
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Examples

# Create a mortaar_life_table from a prepared dataset.
schleswig_1 <- life.table(schleswig_ma[c("a", "Dx")])
plot(schleswig_1)
plot(schleswig_1, display = "qx")

# Create a mortaar_life_table_list from two datasets.
odagsen <- life.table(list(
  "corpus mandibulae" = odagsen_cm[c("a", "Dx")],
  "margo orbitalis" = odagsen_mo[c("a", "Dx")]
))
plot(odagsen)
plot(odagsen, display = "lx", line_vis="color")
