buildGroupSettings: Create a data frame with appearance settings for plotting

In hardmanko/LineChart-package: Plot Line Charts

Description

This function is the primary way to provide settings for the groups used in plotting. You need to provide the indentifiers for each group and the various settings to be used for that group. All settings are optional and will be set with reasonable defaults if not specified.

Usage

buildGroupSettings(
  group,
  groupLabel = NULL,
  color = NULL,
  fillColor = NULL,
  symbol = NULL,
  cex.symbol = NULL,
  width.errBar = NULL,
  lty = NULL,
  lwd = NULL,
  include = NULL,
  suppressWarnings = FALSE
)

Arguments

group	The indentifiers for the groups.
groupLabel	An alternative name to use in legends, instead of 'group'. If provided and some values are NA, those values will be replaced with the group name.
color	The color to be used for the symbols and lines.
fillColor	The fill color to be used in case the symbols are of a fillable type (e.g. 21:25).
symbol	The plotting character to use.
cex.symbol	The character expansion for the plotting symbols.
width.errBar	The width of the heads of the error bars (if present).
lty	The line type.
lwd	The line width.
include	Boolean. Should this group be included in plots?
suppressWarnings	Boolean. By default you are warned about which settings are left at default values. Set to TRUE to suppress these warnings.

Value

A data frame containing appearance setting data that can be used with lineChart for the settings argument.

Examples

library(LineChart)

data(ChickWeight)
settings = buildGroupSettings(group=1:4, symbol=21:24, color=c("red", "green", "orange", "blue"))
lineChart( weight ~ Time * Diet, ChickWeight, settings = settings, legendPosition="topleft" )
