progressbar: Creates an animated progress bar

Description

Creates an animated progress bar

Usage

progressbar(
  format = "[[|][|/-\\][ ]]",
  width = 20,
  refresh = 200,
  n_iterations = NULL
)
render(object, ...)
# S3 method for fraction_progressbar
render(object, progress, show_progress = c("nothing", "percentage"), ...)
# S3 method for iteration_progressbar
render(
  object,
  progress,
  show_progress = c("nothing", "percentage", "iteration"),
  ...
)
# S3 method for progressbar
render(object, show_progress = c("nothing", "percentage", "iteration"), ...)

Arguments

format

character vector containing the format of the animation. See 'details' for more information.

width

progress bar width.

refresh

refresh rate in milliseconds of the animation.

n_iterations

optional parameter, specifies the number of total iterations. When updating the progress bar it is then sufficient to specify the current iteration number.

object

animated progress bar.

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

progress

either the iteration number (if n_iterations is set), or the progress fraction (in [0,1]).

show_progress

how to show the progress. Either not to show it (default), show a percentage or if n_iterations is set to show the number of iterations.

Details

The format of the progress bar is given by a character vector. It consists of 5 parts:

1. the left border of the progress bar consisting of 0 or more characters.

2. a pair of square brackets containing a single character which represents the loaded area.

3. a pair of square brackets containing 0 or more characters. These are animated on the border between the loaded and unloaded area.

4. a pair of square brackets containing a single character which represents the unloaded area.

5. the right border of the progress bar consisting of 0 or more characters.

The format follows the following regular expression: ^.*?[.?][.*?][.?].*$

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# simple progressbar
bar = progressbar(format = "[[|][|/-\\][ ]]")
# fancy progressbar using UTF-8 codes
n_operations = 1000
bar2 = progressbar(format="\u25ba[\u2589][\u2580\u2584][\u3000]\u25c4", n_iterations=n_operations)

for(i in 1:n_operations) {
  cat("\r", render(bar),sep="")
  Sys.sleep(0.01)
}
# }
