bar_chart_counts: Bar chart of counts with TNTP polish

Description

Takes a user supplied data frame and turns the designated column into an N bar chart (uses position dodge from ggplot2).

Usage

bar_chart_counts(
  df,
  var,
  group_var = NULL,
  labels = "n",
  var_color = "green",
  group_colors = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  var_label = NULL,
  digits = 1,
  font = "Halyard Display",
  font_size = 12
)

Value

A ggplot object

Arguments

df

the data.frame to be used in the bar chart

var

unquoted column name for variable to count

group_var

(optional) unquoted column name for group variable. If this is specified, you get a 2-variable clustered bar chart. If left blank, a single variable bar chart.

labels

should labels show the count ("n") or the percentage ("pct")?

var_color

color for non-grouped charts; set to TNTP green by default. For both this and group_colors, strings will be tried in tntp_colors automatically. So c("red", "green") will get you the official TNTP colors, while c("red", "brown") will get you base R red and blue.

group_colors

character vector of group colors, if a specific palette is desired

title

main chart title

var_label

label for x-axis

digits

integer indicating the number of decimal places to be used in percentages. In truncating, ties are rounded up, like in MS Excel, i.e., 10.5 and 11.5 become 11 and 12. This is *not* base R's default behavior.

font

font for chart text; Segoe UI by default

font_size

size for chart text; set to 12 by default

Examples

# An N bar chart by default
# All examples use font = "sans" to avoid triggering font warnings
mtcars |>
  bar_chart_counts(var   = cyl,
                   var_color = "orange",
                   title = "Number of mtcars by cylinder",
                   font  = "sans")

# Use a grouping variable with custom colors
mtcars |>
  bar_chart_counts(var       = cyl,
                   group_var = vs,
                   group_colors = c("orange", "navy"),
                   labels    = "pct",
                   title     = "% of V vs. Straight engines by # of cylinders",
                   font  = "sans")
