In priviere/shinemas2R_deprecated: An R package to visualize outputs from the data base Seed History and Network Management System (SHiNeMaS)

Description

get.pdf generates a pdf file using LaTeX

Usage

get.pdf(dir = "./", form.name, LaTeX_head = NULL, LaTeX_body,
  compile.tex = TRUE, color1 = "white", color2 = "white")

Arguments

dir	Directory where the pdf should be created
form.name	Name of the pdf file and the folder that contains all the raw information. See details.
LaTeX_head	Path of tex file containing the head of the LaTeX document. It contains the packages and macros used in LaTeX_body. If NULL, a default LaTeX head is generated.
LaTeX_body	A list that contains the elements to be displayed in the pdf.

"chapter": name of a chapter "section": name of a section "subsection": name of a subsection "subsubsection": name of a subsubsection "text": text to add "includepdf": path of a .pdf to include. It includes entire document. "includeimage": a list containing the following elements: "content": path of image to include. It can be a pdf, png, jpeg ... "caption": caption of the image "width" : width of the picture in textwidth unit. 1 means the same width as the text. It is 1 by default.

FALSE by default. "display.rownames": If TRUE, displays the row names of the table. FALSE by default. "figure": a list containing the following elements: "content" : output from get.ggplot "caption" : caption of the figure "layout" : the layout of the plots. It is a matrix under the form layout = matrix(c(1:4), ncol = 2, nrow = 2). It is layout = matrix(1, ncol = 1, nrow= 1) by default. "width" : width of the figure in textwidth unit. 1 means the same width as the text. It is 1 by default. "landscape" : If TRUE, the figure is in landscape. FALSE by default.
compile.tex	If TRUE compile the pdf.
color1	For table, color of the head of the table. White by default.

Details

The function creates one folder named "form.name" (first argument of the function). This folder contains two folders: "figures" where all the pdf of the plots are stored and "tex.files" where all the .tex generated are stored. The pdf generated is moved from "./form.name/tex.files" to the current directory.

Note this function works if you have installed LaTeX and the following packages: longtable, lscape, graphicx, pdfpages, float, hyperref and fancyhdr. To download LaTeX, go to http://latex-project.org/ftp.html

Note that the argument [H] from the package float is used by default for figures and tables.

If you use LaTeX macro, do not forget to use escape mode, for example \textbf{}.

Value

The function returns a pdf which is the result of the concatenation as well as folders with raw data (see Details).
