regbar: Barplot with explicit data comparison

In ybkamaleri/rreg: Visualization for Norwegian Health Quality Registries

Description

Create a barplot with the posibility to differentiate a specific item compared to the rest. This is useful in a situation when there is a need to show the total value as compared to each items in the x-axis. A specific example related to the Norwegian Health Registries is when the aggregated value from each health institutions or health regions is compared to the national data.

Usage

regbar(data, x, y, comp, num, aim = NULL, split = NULL, ascending = TRUE,
  title, ylab, col1, col2, col3, flip = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

data	Data set
x	x-axis
y	y-axis
comp	Compare a specific bar from the rest for a vivid comparison eg. National compared to the different districts
num	Include denominator i.e N in the figure eg. Tawau HF (N=2088)
aim	A line on y-axis indicating aim
split	Where to split inside and outside text eg. 10% of max as split=0.1
ascending	Sort data ascending order
title	Title for the plot
ylab	Label for y-axis
col1	Color for bars
col2	Color for the 'diff' bar
col3	Color for aim line
flip	Flip plot horizontally
...	Additional arguments

Examples

# basic usage
library("rreg")
regbar(data = hfdata, x = inst, y = case2)
regbar(hfdata, inst, case2, comp = "Tawau HF")
regbar(hfdata, inst, 2007, comp = "Taw", num = extt)

# split text visualisatio at 5% of max value
regbar(hfdata, inst, 2007, comp = "Taw", split = 0.05)
