StratigrapheR (version 0.0.2)

neatPicked: Runs neatPick without user input

Description

Is the user input free version of neatPick. Runs a function n times, with its arguments n times different. The graphical output is stored into a n pages pdf or a n files folder. The output of the function is accumulated in a list.

Usage

neatPicked(fun, n, args = NA, width = 10, height = 10, output = "all",
  name = "Fig", dir = getwd(), gfile = "onePDF", openfile = TRUE,
  track = TRUE, folder = "My file", gfun = "jpeg", ext = ".jpeg",
  gargs = list(units = "in", res = 300), pargs = list())

Arguments

fun

the function to be applied n times.

n

number of runs.

args

the arguments to be supplied to fun. Should be a list of each argument to be supplied to fun, having n elements stored indiscriminately in list or in vector form.

width, height

the width and height of the graphics region. In inches by default, can be adapted if onePDFfile = FALSE

output

the kind of output : "function" for the accumulated outputs of the function (list of n elements), "all" to add args, and everything else to output nothing

name

the names of the graphic file(s)

dir

the directory of the file or of the folder of files

gfile

whether to create a single pdf with n pages ("onePDF"; default) or a folder of n graphical files ("gfun"). If anything else is given ("none for instance"), it won't produce graphical files. This reduces computation speed by a little more than 15 percents (one try of 1000 samples with simple graphs).

openfile, track

parameters for pdfDisplay()

folder

the name of the folder containing the n graphical files

gfun

a non-empty character string naming the graphical function to be called to create the n graphical files

ext

the extension of the n graphical files

gargs

list of arguments transmitted to the graphical function

pargs

list of arguments transmitted to the par() function

Value

the accumulated outputs of fun (and arguments if asked) if asked

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# # To run example uncomment all: put in a script, select all and use
# #  ctrl+shift+c
#
# fun <- function(x, y, xlim = c(-1,1),...)
# {
#   plot(x, y, xlim = xlim,...)
#
#   return(paste(x, y, paste(xlim, collapse = "; "), sep = "; "))
# }
#
# args <- list(x = list(-0.5, 1) , y = c(0.8, 0.8), pch = c(2,4),
#              xlim = list(c(-1,1), c(-20,20)))
#
# temp <- tempfile()
# dir.create(temp)
#
# neatPicked(fun, 2, args = args, width = 5, height = 5, dir = temp)
