summary.ggghost: List the calls contained in a ggghost object

In jonocarroll/ggghost: Capture the Spirit of Your 'ggplot2' Calls

List the calls contained in a ggghost object

Description

Summarises a ggghost object by presenting the contained calls in the order they were added. Optionally concatenates these into a single ggplot call.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ggghost'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object	A ggghost object to present
...	Mainly provided for summary.default generic consistency. When combine is passed as an argument (arbitrary value) the list of calls is concatenated into a single string as one might write the ggplot call.

Details

The data is also included in ggghost objects. If this is also desired in the output, use str. See example.

Value

Either a list of ggplot calls or a string of such concatenated with " + "

Examples

## present the ggghost object as a list
tmpdata <- data.frame(x = 1:100, y = rnorm(100))

z %g<% ggplot(tmpdata, aes(x,y))
z <- z + geom_point(col = "steelblue")
summary(z)

## present the ggghost object as a string
summary(z, combine = TRUE) # Note, value of 'combine' is arbitrary

## to inspect the data structure also captured, use str()
str(z)
