addReportFigure

Description

Generates HTML code for a figure in the specified report. A figure is a collection of images (plots), of which only one is visible at any given moment.

Usage

addReportFigure(report, description, repPlots, setting.names = list(),
  selected.image = as.integer(1))

Arguments

report

Report to write the text to.

description

Human-readable description of the figure. This must be a non-empty character vector. The elements of this vector are concatenated without a separator to form the full description.

repPlots

Object of type ReportPlot, or a list of such objects.

setting.names

List of plot file element descriptors. Every variable elements in the plot file names must be included in this list. Set this to empty list if no variable elements are present, that is, if the figure should present a single report plot.

selected.image

Index of plot to be initially selected in the figure.

Value

The modified report.

addReportList

Description

Generates HTML code for a list in the specified report.

Usage

addReportList(report, txt, type = "u")

Arguments

report

Report to write the text to.

txt

Non-empty list of items to be written. An attribute named type, if it exists, specifies the type of the list. See the Details section for more information. Every item must be either a nested list, denoting a sublist, or a character vector (or array), storing the text to be written. Any other objects are coerced to a character type. Elements are concatenated without a separator to form the text for a list item.

type

List type to be used for the list and/or its sublists in case the attribute type is not specified.

Details

There are two ways to specify a list type: (1) setting a value for the attribute type of the list, or (2) using the function's parameter type. The value of the function's parameter is used only for lists and sublists that do not contain an attribute named type. The following types are supported:

"o"

Ordered list using arabic numbers - 1, 2, 3, etc.

"u"

Unordered list using bullet points.

Note that every list type must be a one-element character vector containing one of the codes listed above. Specifying any other value for list type results in an error.

Value

The modified report, invisibly.

addReportTable

Description

Generates HTML code for a table in the specified report.

Usage

addReportTable(report, tdata, row.names = TRUE,
  first.col.header = FALSE, indent = 0, tag.attrs = c(class =
  "tabdata"), thead = NULL, tcaption = NULL,
  na = "<span class=\"disabled\">n/a</span>")

Arguments

report

Report to write the text to.

tdata

Matrix or data frame to be presented in HTML form. Column names, if present, are used to define table columns. If this table contains 0 (zero) rows or 0 columns, calling this function has no effect.

row.names

Flag indicating if row names should also be printed. If this parameter is TRUE and tdata defines row names, these are printed in the left-most column and are displayed as header cells. Keep in mind that data.frames always define row names.

first.col.header

Flag indicating if all cells in the first column must be displayed as header cells. Note that, if both this parameter and row.names are TRUE, and tdata contains row names, the constructed HTML table will have 2 columns of header cells.

indent

Default indentation, in number of tabulation characters, to apply to HTML tags. This indentation is also applied to thead.

tag.attrs

Named character vector specifying the list of attributes to be set to the <table> element. Setting this to NULL or an empty character vector disables attributes.

thead

character vector storing a table header to include. This can, for example, be a character that defines column widths. Every element in this vector is written on a separate line, applying the indentation given by indent.

tcaption

Text to include as a caption below the table, or NULL if the table does not contain caption.

na

character to be used for printing NA values in the table. This parameter is not considered when printing thead or the table's column names.

Value

The modified report, invisibly.

createReport

Description

Creates a new report object.

Usage

createReport(fname, title, page.title = "muReportR report",
  authors = NULL, dirs = NULL, init.configuration = FALSE,
  theme = "thesis")

Arguments

fname

Single-element character vector denoting the name of the file to contain the HTML report. If this file already exists, it will be overwritten.

title

Title of the report in the form of a single-element character vector.

page.title

Web page title. This usually appears in the web browser's window title when the report is open. If specified, this must be a vector. Note that only the first element is used.

authors

Optional list of authors in the form of a character vector. This list is included in the header of the generated HTML file. Note that author names can contain only Latin leters, space, dash (-), comma (,) or dot (.).

dirs

Location of the supporting directories, that is, paths that are expected to contain additional files linked to from the HTML report. See the Details section for a list of these directories.

init.configuration

Flag indicating if the report configuration data should be initialized. If this parameter is TRUE, the method creates the respective directory and copies configuration files that define cascading style sheet (CSS) definitions and Javascript functions used by the HTML report. If such configuration files already exist, they will be overwritten. Since the aforementioned files can be shared by multiple reports, it is recommended that the configuration is initialized using the method initializeReports, instead of setting this flag to TRUE.

theme

character specifying the theme to be used for the report files. Currently only "thesis" (default) and "stanford" are supported.

Details

If specified, the parameter dirs must be a character vector. The following names are read:

  • "configuration" Directory that contains the auxilliary configuration files, such as style sheets and Javascript files. If missing or NA, the default value used is "configuration".

  • "data" Directory to contain the tables, lists and other generated data files that are linked to in the HTML report. If missing or NA, the value used is formed from the file name fname (without the extension) and the suffix "_data".

  • "pngs" Directory to contain the low resolution PNG images shown in the HTML report. If missing or NA, the value used is formed from the file name fname (without the extension) and the suffix "_images".

  • "pdfs" Directory to contain the PDF images (if such are created). If not missing or NA, the value used is formed from the file name fname (without the extension) and the suffix "_pdf".

  • "high" Directory to contain the high resolution PNG images (if such are created). If missing or NA, the value used is the same as the pngs directory.

Any other elements, if present, are ignored. Note that these directories are not required to point to different locations. In particular, if the directories for low and for high resolution images are identical, the high-resolution image files are assumed to be the ones with suffix "_highres.png". See createReportPlot for creating image files. In order to ensure independence of the operating system, there are strong restrictions on the names of the file and directories. The name of the report's HTML file can consist of the following symbols only: Latin letters, digits, dot (.), dash (-) and underline (_). The extension of the report's HTML file must be one of htm, html, xhtml or xml. The supporting directories must be given as relative paths; the restrictions on the path names are identical to the ones for file name. Forward slash (/) is to be used as path separator. Path names cannot start or end with a slash. None of the directory names can be an empty string, use "." instead. A value in the form "mypath/.html" for fname is invalid. Upon initialization, the report attempts to create or overwrite the specified fname. If the path to it does not exist, or if the current process does not have permissions to write to the file, report initialization will fail. The report object visits each supporting directory (except configuration) and attempts to create it, unless it is an existing empty directory. Report initialization will fail if any of the visited directories does not meet the criteria and could not be created. Hidden files (file names starting with "." on Unix platforms) are ignored. Thus, all supporting directories that already exist and contain hidden files only are considered valid.

Value

Newly created Report object.
