getTicks {forestplot} | R Documentation |
Gets the ticks in a formatted version. This is since I'm not always that fond of just pretty(1:10/5). In exponential form the ticks are determined from the 2-base, meaning that you get an intuitive feeling for when the value is doubled.
getTicks(low, high = low, clip = c(-Inf, Inf), exp = FALSE, digits = 0)
low |
lower bound, can be a single number or a vector |
high |
upper bound - optional, you can just have all data in the low variable |
clip |
if the ci are clipped |
exp |
If the value should be in exponential form (default) |
digits |
Number of digits - used in exp mode |
This function is far from perfect and I recommend specifying yourself the ticks that you want.
vector
Returns a vector with the ticks
test_data <- data.frame(coef=c(2, 0.5), low=c(1.5, 0.05), high=c(3, 0.75), boxsize=c(0.5, 0.5)) # Exponential form where the exponent base i 2 for easier understanding getTicks(low = test_data$low, high = test_data$high, clip=c(-Inf, Inf), exp=TRUE) # Non exponential form with using pretty getTicks(low = test_data$low, high = test_data$high, clip=c(-Inf, Inf), exp=FALSE) # A very simple example getTicks(1:5*2.33, exp=FALSE) # A slightly more advanced exponential version getTicks(1:10*.33, digits=2, exp=TRUE)
