microplot (version 1.0-45)
Microplots (Sparklines) in 'LaTeX', 'Word', 'HTML', 'Excel'
Description
The microplot function writes a set of R graphics files to be used as
microplots (sparklines) in tables in either 'LaTeX', 'HTML', 'Word',
or 'Excel' files. For 'LaTeX', we provide methods for the
Hmisc::latex() generic function to construct 'latex' tabular
environments which include the graphs. These can be used directly
with the operating system 'pdflatex' or 'latex' command, or by using
one of 'Sweave', 'knitr', 'rmarkdown', or 'Emacs org-mode' as an
intermediary. For 'MS Word', the msWord() function uses the
'flextable' package to construct 'Word' tables which include the
graphs. There are several distinct approaches for constructing HTML
files. The simplest is to use the msWord() function with argument
filetype="html". Alternatively, use either 'Emacs org-mode' or the
htmlTable::htmlTable() function to construct an 'HTML' file
containing tables which include the graphs. See the documentation
for our as.htmlimg() function. For 'Excel' use on 'Windows', the
file examples/irisExcel.xls includes 'VBA' code which brings the
individual panels into individual cells in the spreadsheet.
Examples in the examples and demo subdirectories are shown with
'lattice' graphics, 'ggplot2' graphics, and 'base' graphics.
Examples for 'LaTeX' include 'Sweave' (both 'LaTeX'-style and
'Noweb'-style), 'knitr', 'emacs org-mode', and 'rmarkdown' input
files and their 'pdf' output files. Examples for 'HTML' include
'org-mode' and 'Rmd' input files and their webarchive 'HTML' output
files. In addition, the as.orgtable() function can display a
data.frame in an 'org-mode' document. The examples for 'MS Word'
(with either filetype="docx" or filetype="html") work with all
operating systems. The package does not require the installation of
'LaTeX' or 'MS Word' to be able to write '.tex' or '.docx' files.
