PlotLog

The base function <code><a href="/link/grid?package=DescTools&version=0.99.56" data-mini-rdoc="DescTools::grid">grid</a>()</code> does not support logarithmic scales very well. Especially when more lines are required, grids have to be created manually. <code>PlotLog</code> creates a plot with at least one logarithmic axis and places a logarithmic grid in the background of the data.

 hplot

A collection of miscellaneous basic statistic functions and convenience wrappers for efficiently describing data. The author's intention was to create a toolbox, which facilitates the (notoriously time consuming) first descriptive tasks in data analysis, consisting of calculating descriptive statistics, drawing graphical summaries and reporting the results. The package contains furthermore functions to produce documents using MS Word (or PowerPoint) and functions to import data from Excel. Many of the included functions can be found scattered in other packages and other sources written partly by Titans of R. The reason for collecting them here, was primarily to have them consolidated in ONE instead of dozens of packages (which themselves might depend on other packages which are not needed at all), and to provide a common and consistent interface as far as function and arguments naming, NA handling, recycling rules etc. are concerned. Google style guides were used as naming rules (in absence of convincing alternatives). The 'BigCamelCase' style was consequently applied to functions borrowed from contributed R packages as well.

PlotLog function

<dl> <dt>x</dt>
<dd>the coordinates of points in the plot. Alternatively, a single plotting structure, function or any R object with a plot method can be provided.
</dd> <dt>...</dt>
<dd>the dots are passed on to the function <code><a href="/link/plot()?package=DescTools&version=0.99.56" data-mini-rdoc="DescTools::plot()">plot()</a></code>.
</dd> <dt>args.grid</dt>
<dd>a list of arguments for the grid. This contains line type, line width and line color, separately for major gridlines and for minor gridlines. 
 <code>args.grid=list(lwd=1, lty=3, col="grey85", col.min="grey60")</code> are used as default. If the argument is set to <code>NA</code>, no grid will be plotted.
</dd> <dt>log</dt>
<dd>a character string which contains "<code>x</code>" if the x axis is to be logarithmic, "<code>y</code>" if the y axis is to be logarithmic and "<code>xy</code>" or "<code>yx</code>" if both axes are to be logarithmic.
