Create pages from IQRoutputFigure

Creates plot objects using cowplot arranging the plots from the IQRoutputFigure into rows and columns and potentially multiple pages. The title, subtitle, footer, and legend are plotted on each created page.

createPages_IQRoutputFigure(
  x,
  nrow = NULL,
  ncol = NULL,
  npage = NULL,
  legend.option = c("as.is", "remove", "common"),
  legend.object = NULL,
  legend.position = "right",
  legend.relsize = 0.2,
  title.relheight = 0.05,
  subtitle.relheight = 0.05,
  footer.relheight = 0.05
)

Arguments

x

IQRoutputFigure object

nrow

number of rows per page

ncol

number of columns per page

npage

number of pages. If nrow and ncol is given, this input is ignored.

legend.option

Character or numeric whether to leave legend in plots as is ('as.is', 1), remove all legends from the plots ('remove', 2), or plot common legend ('common', 3). As common legend, the legend of the first plot per page is used if not user provided by 'legend.object'

legend.object

User-provided legend

legend.position

Position of legend relative to main plots. Can be 'right' (default), 'left', 'top', or 'bottom'.

legend.relsize

Fraction of plot region (width for left or right position, height for top or bottom position) allocated to legend.

title.relheight

Fraction of page height allocated to plot title (if exists).

subtitle.relheight

Fraction of page height allocated to plot subtitle (if exists).

Fraction of page height allocated to plot footer (if exists).

Value

list of plot objects or single plot object

Details

Per default, plots are arranged to one page and a legend is plotted on the right-hand side of the plots. The user can provide a plot object of the legend. If not provided the legend is taken from the first plot object in content. If options for the layout (opt.layout) are given in the IQRoutputFigure they will be applied unless a value is given as input. Note that potential page dimention and resolution settings (opt.page) do not apply here.
