windowsCut {longitudinalData}

~ Function: windowsCut ~

Description

windowsCut prepare an object ParWindows according to its arguments.

Usage

windowsCut(x, addLegend = TRUE,closeScreen=TRUE)

Arguments

x

[numeric] or [couple(numeric)]: x is used to calculate the fields nbCol and nbRow of the object ParWindows. If x is a couple, then x[1] is nbRow and x[2] is nbCol. If x is a single number (the number of plot that should be display), nbCol and nbRow parameters are calculate consequently (see detail).

addLegend

[logical]: If addLegendis true, an extra space is reserved on the top of the screen to print the legend.

closeScreen

[logical]: Some function need to add details on a graph. This option let them call a plot function that will not call a close.screen on exit, so the graph will be modifiable.

Details

If x is a number of variable, the column and row number are estimate according to the formula nbCol <- ceiling(sqrt(x)) and nbRow <- ceiling(x/nbCol).

Value

An object of class ParWindows.
