forest.plot: forest.plot

Description

A function for creating harmonized forest.plots via ggplot2 offering compatiability with table.plot and dot.plot.

Usage

forest.plot(
  parent.df,
  y.rank.col = "rank",
  Point.Est = "hr",
  lower.lim = "low",
  upper.lim = "high",
  y.label.rank.col = "rank",
  y.label.col = "subcategory",
  x.label = "Estimate",
  y.label = "Item",
  log.trans = TRUE,
  x.limits = c(0.21, 5),
  x.ticks = 2^(-2:2),
  y.limits = NULL,
  category.color = "category",
  background.palette = c("red", "blue"),
  category.palette = c("red", "blue"),
  shape.palette = c(16, 16),
  flip.palette = FALSE
)

Value

A ggplot object is returned.

Arguments

parent.df: data.frame used by ggplot
y.rank.col: column holding ranks for line items in forest/dot/table plots
Point.Est: point estimate
lower.lim: column holding lower limit of CI
upper.lim: column holding upper limit of CI (forest.plot)
y.label.rank.col: column holding ranks for labels in forest/dot/table plots
y.label.col: column holding labels for forest/dot/table plots
x.label: value gets passed to labs
y.label: value gets passed to labs
log.trans: Logical; if TRUE log transformation is applied to x axis (ensure x.limits are positive!) (forest.plot)
x.limits: value gets passed to scale_x_continuous
x.ticks: value gets passed to scale_x_continuous
y.limits: passed to scale_y_continuous
category.color: data.frame column assocated with aes color mapping (forest.plot, line.plot, nsubj.plot, table.plot)
background.palette: palette gets passed to scale_fill_manual (forest.plot)
category.palette: colors assoicated with categorical variable
shape.palette: values passed to scale_shape_manual
flip.palette: logical; if TRUE it reverse the order of colors used for background (forest.plot)
