getPlotTableVars {clinDataReview}

Extract variables displayed in the attached table, for each available plotting function of the clinDataReview package.

Description

This function is used in each plotting function of the package to extract the variable(s) displayed in the table associated to the plot and their associated labels.
This can also be used in the template reports, e.g. to extract reference variable(s) for the comparison table functionality in the plot template report.
The following framework is used:

• if variables to be displayed in the table (tableVars) are not specified:
  all variables displayed in the plot are selected, based on the plot arguments.
  For example: the variables displayed in the x and y axis and for coloring are extracted for the scatterplotClinData plotting function.
  Label for these variable(s) are extracted from the associated parameter (e.g. xLab for xVar and so on) or the general parameter for the variable labels (labelVars) if not specified.

• if variables to be displayed in the table (tableVars) are specified:
  these variable(s) are returned.
  The associated label(s) are extracted from the associated parameter (tableLab) or the general parameter for the variable labels (labelVars) if not specified.

For the functions: plotCountClinData, treemapClinData, sunburstClinData: value to represent are included in the table and colored with a bar.

Usage

getPlotTableVars(plotFunction, plotArgs)

Arguments

String with name of the plotting function, be available in the clinDataReview package.

plotArgs

List with parameters passed to the plotting function.

Value

Character vector with variable to include in the table, with extra attributes (passed to tableClinData):

• 'tableLab': Named character vector with labels for the table variables

• 'tablePars' : extra table parameters, only included if specified as input or specified internally.
