inset.exporter: Saves an EDA Graphical and Statistical Summary

Description

Saves the output from inset as a graphics file in the R working directory for use in report or map preparation.

Usage

inset.exporter(x, xlab = deparse(substitute(x)), log = FALSE, xlim = NULL, 
	nclass = NULL, ifnright = TRUE, file = NULL, gtype = "wmf", ...)

Arguments

x

name of the variable to be plotted.

xlab

a label for the x-axis. It is often desirable to replace the default x-axis label of the input variable name text string with a more informative label, e.g., xlab = "Cu (mg/kg) in <2 mm="" o-horizon="" soil"<="" code="">.

log

if it is required to display the data with logarithmic (x-axis) scaling, set log = TRUE.

xlim

default limits of the x-axis are determined in the function. However when used stand-alone the limits may be user-defined by setting xlim, see Note below.

nclass

the default procedure for preparing the histogram is to use the Scott (1979) rule. This usually provides an informative histogram, other optional rules are nclass = "sturges" or nclass = "fd"; the later standing for Freedman-Diac

ifnright

controls where the sample size is plotted in the histogram display, by default this in the upper right corner of the plot. If the data distribution is such that the upper left corner would be preferable, set ifnright = FALSE.

file

the first part of the file name identifying the data source for saving the function output in the R working directory, see Details below.

gtype

the format of the graphics file to be saved. By default gtype = "wmf" for a Windows metafile. Other alternatives are gtype = "jpg" for a jpeg file, gtype = "png" for a portable graphics file, gtype = "ps"

...

further arguments to be passed to methods. For example, by default individual data points in the ECDF and CPP plots are marked by a plus sign, pch = 3, if a cross or open circle is desired, then set pch = 4 or pch = 1

Details

See inset for details concerning the inset parameters. file contains the first part of the file name identifying the data source for the output file to be saved in the R working directory, see Note below. The function concatenates the working directory name with file, _, x as a character string, and _inset. Subsequently the suffix gtype is appended and the file saved in the R working directory.
