struc_mosaic: Panel-generating Function for Mosaic Plots

Description

Panel-generating function for strucplot returning a function producing mosaic plots.

Usage

struc_mosaic(zero_size = 0.5)

Arguments

zero_size

size of the bullets used for zero-entries in the contingency table (if 0, no bullets are drawn).

Value

• A function with arguments:
• residuals
  table of residuals.
• observed
  table of observed values.
• expected
  not used by struc_mosaic.
• spacing
  object of class "unit" specifying the space between the tiles.
• gp
  list of gpar objects used for the drawing the tiles.
• split_vertical
  vector of logicals indicating, for each dimension of the table, the split direction.

example

## Titanic data data(Titanic) ## mosaic plot with large zeros strucplot(Titanic, panel = struc_mosaic(zero_size = 1))

Details

This function is usually called by strucplot (typically when called by mosaic) and returns a function used by strucplot to produce mosaic plots.
