tabplot: Tableplot, a Visualization of Large Datasets

#' Tableplot, a visualization of large datasets
#'
#' A tableplot is a visualisation of a (large) dataset. Each column represents a variable and each row bin is an aggregate of a certain number of records. For numeric variables, a bar chart of the mean values is depicted. For categorical variables, a stacked bar chart is depicted of the proportions of categories. Missing values are taken into account. Also supports large \code{\link[ff:ffdf]{ffdf}} datasets from the \code{\link[ff:ff]{ff}} package.
#'
#' The main function of the package is \code{\link{tableplot}}, which is used to create a tableplot.
#' Other useful functions are:
#' \itemize{
#' \item \code{\link{itableplot}} to start a graphical user interface (made with the \code{\link[shiny:shiny]{shiny}} package);
#' \item \code{\link{tablePrepare}} to prepare a large dataset. Tableplotting is much faster when the returned object is passed on to \code{\link{tableplot}} rather than the dataset itself;
#' \item \code{\link{tablePalettes}} to show all quantitative and qualitative palettes that are included;
#' \item \code{\link{tableSave}} to save a tableplot;
#' \item \code{\link{tableChange}} to make layout changes to a tableplot.
