write.object: Write an Object to a Plot

Description

This function writes the contents of an object to a plot. The object may be either a data frame or a matrix. Values in the input data frame or matrix must be of class numeric, character, or factor.

Usage

write.object(obj, n.digits = 2, r.names = TRUE, c.names = TRUE,
  r.cex = 1, c.cex = 1, miss = "NA")

Arguments

obj

The object (either a data frame or a matrix).

n.digits

Number of digits after the decimal point for numeric values. The default is 2.

r.names

Logical value that indicates whether to print the row names, where TRUE = print the row names and FALSE = do not print the row names. The default is TRUE.

c.names

Logical value that indicates whether to print the column names, where TRUE = print the column names and FALSE = do not print the column names. The default is TRUE.

r.cex

Character expansion parameter for the row labels. The default is 1.

c.cex

Character expansion parameter for the column labels. The default is 1.

miss

The missing value code expressed as a character string. The default is "NA".

Value

The function returns NULL. Side effect of the function is to write contents of the input object to a plot.

Other Functions Required

input.format

format an input value

Examples

# NOT RUN {
z <- rnorm(100)
z.mean <- c(tapply(z, rep(1:4, rep(25,4)), mean), mean(z))
z.sd <- sqrt(c(tapply(z, rep(1:4, rep(25,4)), var), var(z)))
z.upper <- z.mean+1.96*z.sd
z.lower <- z.mean-1.96*z.sd
obj <- data.frame(rbind(z.mean, z.sd, z.upper, z.lower))
dimnames(obj) <- list(c("Mean Estimate", "Standard Deviation", "Lower 95\%
  Conf. Bound", "Upper 95\% Conf. Bound"), c(paste("Stratum", 1:4, sep=""),
  "AllStrata"))
write.object(obj, n.digits=3, r.cex=0.75)

obj <- data.frame(matrix(round(5 + runif(30), 1), nrow=6))
colnames(obj) <- c("United States", "Russia", "Germany", "Japan", "France")
write.object(obj, n.digits=1, r.names=FALSE)
