lav_label_code: Provides formatted label for use in tikz, svg or rplot

Description

Creates the code to use in tikz, svg or R to show the label. The label is printed in an xy-plot if show = TRUE.

Usage

lav_label_code(label = "", value = "", show =FALSE,
               idx.font.size = 20L, dy = 7L,
               italic = TRUE, auto.subscript = TRUE)

Value

a list with members svg, tikz and r, giving the result.

Arguments

label

A character string in one of the formats

• name

• name_index

• name=value

• name_index=value

If value is specified in parameter label and parameter value is empty, the value in label will be used.

value

A character string specifying a value or empty.

show

A logical indicating that the result should be plotted in an Rplot.

idx.font.size

An integer specifying font size to use for the subscript in svg.

dy

An integer specifying the distance to move the baseline of the subscript in svg.

italic

A logical to indicate if the labels font should be cursive. Only used for tikz output and in shown Rplot if result isn't an expression.

auto.subscript

Logical, if TRUE and label starts with one or more alhabetic chars followed by one or more digits, an underscore will be inserted between these parts.

Details

If both label and value are empty, the resulting codes are also empty and nothing will be shown.

If label is empty and value is not, processing is done as if label was specified and value was empty.

If label contains the string "1van", the label value is set to "1", this is to allow distinct names for regression intercepts and still label them as "1".

If name in label is a Greek character or varepsilon, it is attempted to generate code which shows the Greek symbol. If there is an index part in label, it is attempted to generate code which displays this value as a subscript. In the svg code the values idx.font.size and dy are used for the subscript in the generated code. If a value is present, it is attempted to show this value after the label, with an equal sign in between both.

Examples

lav_label_code("x3")
lav_label_code("beta10", 0.65, show = TRUE)
lav_label_code("A_i,j=0.45", show = TRUE)
lav_label_code("Gamma")
lav_label_code(value="1.2345")
