plot.likert.gap: Plots a set of likert items.

In jbryer/likert: Analysis and Visualization Likert Items

Plots a set of likert items.

Description

This is an implementation of the S3 plot generic function. Based upon the 'type' parameter this function will call either [likert.bar.plot()], [likert.heat.plot()], or [likert.density.plot()]. See the help pages for those functions for all the available parameters to customize the aesthetics of the figure. Although those functions can be plotted directly, we recommend call the generic 'plot' function.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'likert.gap'
plot(
  x,
  type = c("bar", "density"),
  include.histogram = FALSE,
  panel.widths = c(3, 1),
  panel.arrange = "v",
  panel.strip.color = "#F0F0F0",
  legend.position = "bottom",
  panel.background = element_rect(size = 1, color = "grey70", fill = NA),
  satisfaction.label = "Satisfaction",
  importance.label = "Importance",
  legend,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	the likert items to plot
type	the type of plot to create. Current values are bar and heat.
include.histogram	if TRUE, a histogram of count of responses is also plotted.
panel.widths	if 'include.histogram=TRUE', this vector of length two specifies the ratio of the left and right panels.
panel.arrange	how panels for grouped likert items should be arrange. Possible values are v (vertical, the default), h (horizontal), and NULL (auto fill horizontal and vertical)
panel.strip.color	the background color for panel labels.
legend.position	the position for the legend ("left", "right", "bottom", "top", or two-element numeric vector).
panel.background	define background of the plot. See [theme()].
satisfaction.label	label used for satisfaction items.
importance.label	label used for importance items.
legend	title for the legend.
...	other parameters passed passed to [likert.bar.plot()] or [likert.heat.plot()].
