Horizontal bar graph

This function draws an horizontal bar graph of the values of variable 'Yvar' with the categorical variable 'Xvar' on the x-axis.
Expects aggregated data.

Usage

plotBarH(
  .data,
  xvar = "",
  xlabel = "",
  yvar = "",
  ylabel = "",
  fill_color = EcdcColors(col_scale = "qual", n = 1),
  log10_scale = FALSE,
  xlabel_black = ""
)

Arguments

.data

dataframe containing the variables to plot

xvar

character string, name of the categorical variable to plot on the x-axis in quotes

xlabel

character string, label of the x axis

yvar

character string, name of the numerical variable to plot on the y-axis in quotes

ylabel

character string, label of the y axis

fill_color

character string, hexadecimal colour to use in the graph; (default to ECDC green "#65B32E", see EcdcColors(col_scale = "qual", n = 1))

log10_scale

boolean, TRUE if y-axis should be log scale (default FALSE ,see ggplot2::scale_y_log10)

xlabel_black

(optional) character string, value of the categorical variable for which the bar should be black

Examples

# --- Create dummy data
mfratio <- data.frame( Country = sample(EpiReport::MSCode$Country, 28),
                       Ratio = runif(28, min = 0, max = 28))

# --- Plot the dummy data
plotBarH(mfratio,
         xvar = "Country",
         xlabel = "",
         yvar = "Ratio",
         ylabel = "Male-to-Female ratio",
         log10_scale = FALSE)

plotBarH(mfratio,
         xvar = "Country",
         xlabel = "",
         yvar = "Ratio",
         ylabel = "Male-to-Female ratio",
         log10_scale = TRUE,
         xlabel_black = "EU-EEA")
