Function wraps ggplot2 geom_bar and geom_col to creates a bar plot.

Description

Function creates a ggplot2 based bar plot with optional scaling and ordering.

)

Arguments

df

The target data frame for the bar chart.

aes_x

Sets the x axis discrete variable name from df. This variable must be a factor and is required..

aes_y

Sets the y axis numeric variable name from df. If this variable is NULL the bar heights will be proportional to the number of cases in the levels of aes_x. If aes_y is not NULL, the bar heights represent this parameter's values across the aes_x levels.

aes_color

Sets the variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for color.

aes_fill

Sets the variable name from df for the aesthetic mapping for fill.

position

A string that sets the bar positions. Acceptable values are dodge(side by side), identity(overlap) or stack.

title

A string that sets the overall title.

subtitle

A string that sets the overall subtitle.

caption

A string that sets the captiion.

center_titles

A logical which if TRUE centers both the title and subtitle.

x_title

A string that sets the x axis title. If NULL (the default) then the x axis title does not appear.

y_title

A string that sets the y axis title. If NULL (the default) then the y axis title does not appear.

hide_x_tics

A logical that controls the appearance of the x axis tics.

hide_y_tics

A logical that controls the appearance of the y axis tics.

rot_x_tic_angle

A numeric that sets the angle of rotation for the x tic label. When x tic labels are long, a value of 40 for this argument usually works well.

rot_y_tic_label

A logical which if TRUE rotates the y tic labels 90 degrees for enhanced readability.

bar_fill

A string that sets the fill color attribute for the bars.

bar_color

A string that sets the outline color attribute for the bars.

bar_alpha

A numeric that sets the alpha component attribute to bar_color.

bar_size

A numeric that sets the outline thickness attribute of the bars.

bar_width

A numeric that sets the width attribute of the bars.

x_major_breaks

If aes_x is numeric then this parameter is a numeric vector that defines the major breaks/intervals for the x axis. Interval labels are created and their respective counts are displayed.

y_limits

A numeric 2 element vector that sets the minimum and maximum for the y axis. Use NA to refer to the existing minimum and maximum.

y_major_breaks

A numeric vector or function that defines the exact major tic locations along the y axis.

y_minor_breaks

A numeric vector or function that defines the exact minor tic locations along the y axis.

y_labels

A character vector with the same length as y_major_breaks, that labels the major tics.

axis_text_size

A numeric that sets the font size along the axis'. Default is 11.

do_coord_flip

A logical which if TRUE will flip the x and y axis'.

order_bars

A string which will order the bars in a specific direction. Acceptable values are "asc" or "desc"

bar_labels

A logical which if TRUE will label each bar with its value.

bar_label_sz

A numeric that sets the size of the label.

bar_label_color

A string that sets the label's color.

bar_label_fontface

A string that sets the label's font face. Acceptable values are "plain", "bold", "italic", "bold.italic".

bar_label_alpha

A numeric that sets the label's alpha value.

show_major_grids

A logical that controls the appearance of major grids.

show_minor_grids

A logical that controls the appearance of minor grids.

panel_color

A string in hexidecimal or color name that sets the plot panel's color. The default is "white".

panel_border_color

A string in hexidecimal or color name that sets the plot panel's border color. The default is "black".

show_legend

A logical that controls the appearance of the legend.

legend_pos

A string that sets the legend position. Acceptable values are "top", "bottom", "left", "right".

legend_key_width

A numeric that sets the legend width in cm.

legend_key_height

A numeric that sets the legend height in cm.

legend_key_backgrd

A string that sets the legend's background color.

silent_NA_warning

A logical that controls the appearance of a console warning when Na's are removed.

png_file_path

A character string with the directory and file name to produce a png image of the plot.

png_width_height

A numeric vector that sets the width and height of the png image in pixels. The default is c(480,480). There are 37.8 pixels in a centimeter.

Value

A plot object.
