table_x_reorder: Reordering groups along X-axis

Description

This simple function takes in a data table and reorders groups (categorical variables or factors) to be plotted along the X-axis in a user-defined order.

Usage

table_x_reorder(data, xcol, OrderX, ...)

Value

This function returns a data frame with a selected column converted into factor with reordered levels.

Arguments

data

a data table or tibble.

xcol

name of column in above data table (in quotes), e.g., "A", whose levels are to be reordered.

OrderX

a vector of group names within the column selected in xcol in the desired order, .e.g., c("D", "A", "C").

...

any additional arguments for factor call.

Details

It uses two base R functions: as.factor to first force the user-selected column into a factor, and factor that reorders levels based on a user-provided vector.

Examples

#reorder levels within Genotype
new_data <- table_x_reorder(data_t_pratio, 
xcol = "Genotype", 
OrderX = c("KO", "WT"))
#compare 
plot_scatterbox(data_t_pratio, 
Genotype, 
Cytokine)
#with
plot_scatterbox(new_data, 
Genotype, 
Cytokine)
#also works within the plot call
plot_scatterbox(data = table_x_reorder(data_t_pratio, 
xcol = "Genotype", 
OrderX = c("KO", "WT")), 
xcol = Genotype, 
ycol = Cytokine)
