plotSparklineTable: Plot Sparkline Table

Description

Generate a table of sparkline plots

Usage

plotSparklineTable(df, row.var, col.vars, xvar = NULL, xrange.labels = NULL)

Arguments

df

data.frame of values to plot.

row.var

variable for rows of the table

col.vars

variables for columns of the table

xvar

optional name of variable for horizontal axis of sparkline plots

xrange.labels

optional vector of length 2 with labels for the first and last quantities plotted on x-axis, often a date and/or time

Details

Generates a table of 'sparkline' plots of data in df. rows the table correspond to different values of row.var. The table's first column gives the value of row.var. The remaining columns contain sparkline plots for the values of col.vars. When xvar is not provided values are plotted against their index in the extracted vector. The starting and ending values are labeled. Uses layout() function to arrange plots.

Examples

plotSparklineTable( Orange, row.var = 'Tree', col.vars = c('age','circumference'))
plotSparklineTable( Loblolly, row.var = 'Seed', col.vars = 'height')
## specify the x variable if you have it, especially if it differs 
plotSparklineTable(Theoph, row.var = 'Subject', col.vars = 'conc')
## a warning is normally issued with the ranges of xvar differ 
suppressWarnings( plotSparklineTable(Theoph, row.var = 'Subject', col.vars = 'conc', xvar = 'Time'))
