In growthcharts/chartbox: Collection of Growth Charts

chartbox

The chartbox package stores empty Dutch growth charts. With the package you can

• list the available growth charts;
• set the color palette;
• load one of the growth charts for further processing.

Installation

The following statements will install the chartbox package

install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("growthcharts/chartbox")

Example

The load_chart() function makes the stored growth charts available for further processing. Here’s an example that writes chart PJAAN25 to a PDF file.

library(chartbox)

# choose and load chart
chartcode <- "PJAAN25"
g <- load_chart(chartcode)

# set the correct color palette
pop <- chartcatalog::parse_chartcode(chartcode)$population
old_pal <- palette(palettes[pop, ])

# create the pdf
pdf(paste(chartcode, "pdf", sep = "."), height = 29.7/2.54, width = 21/2.54)
grid::grid.draw(g)
dev.off()
#> quartz_off_screen 
#>                 2

# restore palette
palette(old_pal)
