micromapGDefaults: micromapGDefaults data.frame structure
Description
The micromapGDefaults data.frame provides all of the detailed structure,
colors, sizing, font sizes, separation distances, line weights and types, spacing, etc.
required to physically construct the requested micromapST graphic in portrait or
landscape modes from a letter size (8.5 x 11) up to a tabloid (11 x 17) page.
The data.frame is mainly used internal to micromapST, but a copy can
be obtained by a user when a large number of changes are required. This is not recommended.
The primary purpose of this section is to provide a list and description of
many of the variables in the details list that can be used to enable or disable
functions of micromapSEER and it's glyphics. This variable are identified by a "*" after
the variable name. These are the only variables that generally safe to be modified by
the user.
Format
The data.frame contains two lists: colors and details.
Details
The micromapGDefaults data.frame is built by the micromapGSetDefaults function
when the micromapSEER package is called. Once built it cannot be changed.
To change one or two (a few) variables, construct a list of these variables and pass
it to micromapSEER via the details parameter in the call.
To do large scale customization, call the micromapGSetDefaults function to get
a copy of the entire data.frame and modify this copy. This is not recommended.
