In RichardMeyer-Eppler/RUBer: Parameterized Microsoft Word reports in the RUB corporate design

Plot vertical stacked bar chart (figure type 1)

Description

Vertical stacked bar chart in the RUB corporate design. The variables x_var, y_var and fill_var are required, all others are optional.

Usage

rub_plot_type_1(
  df,
  x_var,
  x_var_label = NULL,
  y_var,
  y_axis_label = "",
  fill_var,
  fill_reverse = FALSE,
  fill_label = NULL,
  caption = "",
  caption_prefix = "Quelle:",
  filter_cutoff = 0.04,
  facet_var = NULL,
  color = RUB_colors["blue"],
  palette_reverse = FALSE,
  base_family = get_font_df()[["family"]],
  base_size = 11,
  plot_width = 6.8
)

Arguments

df	Data frame
x_var	Required variable name for the variable containing the discrete x-coordinates.
x_var_label	Optional variable name for the character variable containing the names of the x variable, defaults to NULL.
y_var	Required variable name for the variable containing the y-coordinates. Will be coerced to numeric with as.numeric.
y_axis_label	Optional label for the y-axis, defaults to an empty string.
fill_var	Variable name for the discrete variable which determines the groups to be stacked, e.g. degree.
fill_reverse	Boolean indicating whether the order of the fill variable should be reversed, defaults to FALSE.
fill_label	Optional variable name for the character variable containing the names of the fill variable, defaults to NULL.
caption	Optional character containing the data source for the figure (prefix 'Quelle:' is automatically added).
caption_prefix	Optional character containing the prefix for the caption, defaults to 'Quelle:'.
filter_cutoff	Optional cutoff value for the suppression of data labels. By default, all values below 0.04 of the total value of the stacked bar chart are suppressed.
facet_var	Optional variable name for the discrete variable to facet by, defaults to NULL.
color	Color for font and borders, defaults to RUB_colors["blue"], i.e. #003560.
palette_reverse	Optional boolean indicating whether the colors in the palette should be reversed, defaults to FALSE.
base_family	base font family, defaults to RubFlama
base_size	base font size, defaults to 11
plot_width	Width of the plot in inches, defaults to 6.8

Value

Examples

# Create test values for all three mandatory variables (x_var, y_var, fill_var).
df_t1_ex1 <- tibble::tribble(
  ~term, ~students, ~degree,
  "Spring '13", 120, "Bachelor 1-Subject",
  "Spring '14", 105, "Bachelor 1-Subject",
  "Spring '15", 124, "Bachelor 1-Subject",
  "Spring '16", 114, "Bachelor 1-Subject",
  "Spring '17", 122, "Bachelor 1-Subject",
  "Spring '13", 121, "Master 1-Subject",
  "Spring '14", 129, "Master 1-Subject",
  "Spring '15", 122, "Master 1-Subject",
  "Spring '16", 168, "Master 1-Subject",
  "Spring '17", 7, "Master 1-Subject",
)

# x_var is mapped to term, y_var to students, and the fill_var to degree.
# base_size increases the text sizes from the default, 11, to 14. The font
# family is changed from "RubFlama" to "sans" (available on all systems).
rub_plot_type_1(
  df = df_t1_ex1,
  x_var = term,
  y_var = students,
  fill_var = degree,
  base_size = 14,
  base_family = "sans"
)
