get_Layout function

Collection of layout definitions

This helper function returns a list with layout definitions for homogeneous plotting.

The easiest way to create a user-specific layout definition is perhaps to create either an empty or a default layout object and fill/modify the definitions (user.layout <- get_Layout(data = "empty")).

get_Layout(layout)

Arguments

• layout: character or list object (required ): name of the layout definition to be returned. If name is provided the respective definition is returned. One of the following supported layout definitions is possible: "default", "journal.1", "small", "empty".

  User-specific layout definitions must be provided as a list object of predefined structure, see details.

Returns

A list object with layout definitions for plot functions.

Function version

0.1

Examples

## read example data set
data(ExampleData.DeValues, envir = environment())

## show structure of the default layout definition
layout.default <- get_Layout(layout = "default")
str(layout.default)

## show colour definitions for Abanico plot, only
layout.default$abanico$colour

## set Abanico plot title colour to orange
layout.default$abanico$colour$main <- "orange"

## create Abanico plot with modofied layout definition
plot_AbanicoPlot(data = ExampleData.DeValues,
                 layout = layout.default)

## create Abanico plot with predefined layout "journal"
plot_AbanicoPlot(data = ExampleData.DeValues,
                 layout = "journal")
