initSplot: Creates A Sendplot 'Splot' Object
In lshep/sendplot: Tool for sending interactive plots with tool-tip content.

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

The initSplot function creates a sendplot 'Splot' object. A Splot object holds all necessary elements to make a static layout of images and, through other functions, all elements to make any of those images interactive with tool-tip display content

initSplot(mat,
          plot.calls,
          Iflag=NA,
          figTypes=NA,
          mai.mat=NA,
          mai.prc=FALSE,
          plot.extras = NA,
          source.plot=NA,
          image.size="800x1100",
          pointsize=12,
          res=NA,
          ps.paper="letter",
          ps.width=8,
          ps.height=11,
          returnVl=TRUE,
          saveFlag=FALSE,
          saveName="Splot.RData")

`mat`	matrix indicating layout. This argument will be passed into the graphics package layout call as mat.Each value in the matrix must be '0' or a positive integer. If N is the largest positive integer in the matrix, then the integers 1,...,N-1 must also appear at least once in the matrix. '0' indicates region of no plotting
`plot.calls`	character vector containing plot calls
`Iflag`	Logical vector indicating if the plot in the layout is interactive
`figTypes`	Character vector indicating the type of plot. Currently this argument is not needed, but will be useful for extensions that will be made in future versions.
`mai.mat`	n x 4 matrix of values to be passed in for each plots par mai. n is equal to the length of plot.calls. If NA, uses default margins
`mai.prc`	logical indicating if mai mat values are percentages or hard coded values. If mai.proc is T, indicates percentage.
`plot.extras`	List of length equal to the number of plot.calls. This object is a list of lists. The sublists contain any additional plotting calls that should be executed for the plot. Each entry must be a character vector. If no additional plotting is required, an NA should be used
`source.plot`	Indicates what image output the application should produce postscript, tiff, png, or jpeg. It can be a character vector of any combination of ps, png, jpeg, or tiff. If NA, the default will make a png file
`image.size`	character indicating resize value of image,'width'x'height'
`pointsize`	pointsize of image. passed into device call
`res`	resolution of image, passed into device call if png or jpeg
`ps.paper`	postscript paper argument if postscript is created
`ps.width`	postscript width argument if postscript is created
`ps.height`	postscript height argument if postscript is created
`returnVl`	Should Splot object be returned
`saveFlag`	Should Splot object be saved
`saveName`	If saveFlag, path file name to save object

This functio initializes a Splot object. This object stores information for constructing a layout of figures, as well as making any of thos figures interactive in a html webpage utilizing java tool-tip.

Users are encouraged to read the package vignette which includes a detailed discussion of all function arguments as well as several useful examples.

If returnVl, an object of the class 'Splot'

This function only sets up an SPlot object. It does not make the interactive figure.
