spark_init: Create sparkline as EPS graphics or HTML code

Description

Producing different plot types of data with personalized graphical options for later use in Latex or HTML.

Usage

#default settings:
spark_init(v, cw=100, ch=50, top_padding=5, bottom_padding=5, left_padding=5, 
	right_padding=5, showIQR=TRUE, showVals=rep(TRUE, 3), 
	colVals=c("#f00", "#0f0", "#00f"), fillColor="#ccc", pointWidth=1.5, 
	lineWidth=1, lineCol="#000", shadow=FALSE, shadowCol="#ccc",
	barCol=c("#00f", "#f00", "#000"), barWidth=3, barSpacing=1,
	boxOutCol=c("#f00","#f00"), boxMedCol="#000",boxShowOut=TRUE,
	boxCol=c("#fff","#00f","#00f"), type)

Arguments

v

a data vector

cw

width of the sparkline

ch

height of the sparkline

top_padding

distance between the bar with the highest value to the boarder

bottom_padding

distance between the bar with the lowest value to the boarder

left_padding

distance between the left boarder and the first bar

right_padding

distance between the last bar and the right boarder

showIQR

a logical value indicating whether the IQR (interquartile range) box should be drawn or not

showVals

a logical vector of length 3 indicating which values should be shown: highest, lowest, last

colVals

a vector of length 3 defining the used colors for the values above

fillColor

the fill color for the IQR box

pointWidth

the width of the points

lineWidth

the width of the line

lineCol

the color of the line

shadow

fills the area under the line

shadowCol

color of the shaded area

barCol

a vector of length 3 defining the colors for positive, negative or values of zero

barWidth

the width of each bar

barSpacing

the space between bars

boxOutCol

color of the outliers

boxMedCol

color of the median

boxShowOut

a logical value whether the outliers should be drawn or not

boxCol

a vector of length 3 defining colors for the box: fill color, box color, end of the whisker

type

either "line", "bar", or "box"

Value

• spark_init returns a list containing information and properties depending on the chosen type.

Details

With the type setting one of the following three graphical options can be chosen:

• line:

{ draws a classical sparkline, several options can be set like a IQR box, different colors for the box, points or line as well as the line width} bar:{ draws a bar plot, the size of the plot can be affected by the barWidth and barSpacing values.} box:{ draws a classical horizontal boxplot, with the option to hide outliers in order to get a better looking output}
