In lmullany/iddplotting: Aids in plotting COVID-19 model results with empirical data

Description

This function allows for accepting model data frames with alternative names for inf, death. A dataframe, a column type, and its possible alternative names are provided; if one and only one of the alternatives is found, it is accepted and converted to the column type inf or deaths

Usage

Arguments

dt	data frame of model data
coltype	an unquoted column type, inf or deaths
valid_names	possible names
ignore_error	In general, one and only one valid column name should be found; if this is not the case, the error will be ignored by default, unless this parameter is set to TRUE
