Description

Plot a stacked barplot of YLLs/YLDs with a DALY error bar.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DALY':
plot(x, prob = 0.95, sort = TRUE, names = NULL,
     bars = TRUE, col = c("grey90", "white"),
     error_bars = TRUE, eb_col = "black",
     grid = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

Object of class 'DALY'

prob

Probability span by DALY error bar; defaults to 0.95

sort

Should values be sorted from high to low? defaults to TRUE

names

Vector of names to be plotted on the y-axis. If this argument is NULL, the default, then the names are taken from the name elements of the outcomes

bars

Should YLL/YLD bars be plotted? defaults to TRUE

col

Color of YLL and YLD barplot; defaults to c("grey90", "white")

error_bars

Should DALY error bars be plotted? defaults to TRUE

eb_col

Color of DALY error bars; defaults to black

grid

Should a vertical grid be plotted? defaults to TRUE
