ggfigdone (version 0.1.2)

fd_merge: Merge ggfigdone databases

Description

This function merges two ggfigdone databases. The function will update the figures in the 'to' database with the figures in the 'from' database. If there is a figure with the same ID in both databases, the function will keep the figure with the latest updated date or created date.

Usage

fd_merge(from, to = fd_get_db(), replace = "updated_date")

Value

An object of class fdObj with the merged database.

Arguments

from

An object of class fdObj that will be merged from.

to

An object of class fdObj that will be merged to. The default value is the default ggfigdone database.

replace

A character string specifying the method to keep the figure with the unique ID. It can be either "updated_date" or "created_date".

Examples

library(ggplot2)
## create ggfigdone database in a temporary directory
db_dir1 = file.path(tempdir(), "db1")
db_dir2 = file.path(tempdir(), "db2")
fo1 = fd_init(db_dir1, rm_exist = TRUE)
fo2 = fd_init(db_dir2, rm_exist = TRUE)

## Draw a ggplot figure
g = ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=wt, y=mpg)) + geom_point()

## Add the figure to the database
fd_add(g = g, name  = "fig1", fdObj = fo1)
fd_add(g = g + theme_classic(), name  = "fig2", fdObj = fo2)

## Merge the databases
fo_merge = fd_merge(from = fo1, to = fo2, replace = "updated_date")

## Show the updated ggfigdone database
print(fo_merge)
