Sets the defaults of plot_distr

The default values of most arguments of plot_distr can be set with setFplot_distr.

setFplot_distr(
  sorted,
  log,
  top,
  yaxis.num,
  col,
  border = "black",
  mod.method,
  within,
  total,
  at_5,
  labels.tilted,
  other,
  cumul = FALSE,
  centered = TRUE,
  weight.fun,
  int.categorical,
  dict = NULL,
  mod.title = TRUE,
  labels.angle,
  cex.axis,
  trunc = 20,
  trunc.method = "auto",
  reset = FALSE
)

getFplot_distr()

Arguments

sorted: Logical: should the first elements displayed be the most frequent? By default this is the case except for numeric values put to log or to integers.
log: Logical, only used when the data is numeric. If TRUE, then the data is put to logarithm beforehand. By default numeric values are put to log if the log variation exceeds 3.
top: What to display on the top of the bars. Can be equal to "frac" (for shares), "nb" or "none". The default depends on the type of the plot. To disable it you can also set it to FALSE or the empty string.
yaxis.num: Whether the y-axis should display regular numbers instead of frequencies in percentage points. By default it shows numbers only when the data is weighted with a different function than the sum. For conditionnal distributions, a numeric y-axis can be displayed only when mod.method = "sideTotal", mod.method = "splitTotal" or mod.method = "stack", since for the within distributions it does not make sense (because the data is rescaled for each moderator).
col: A vector of colors, default is close to paired. You can also use “set1” or “paired”.
border: Outer color of the bars. Defaults is "black". Use NA to remove the borders.
mod.method: A character scalar: either i) “split”, the default for categorical data, ii) “side”, the default for data in logarithmic form or numeric data, or iii) “stack”. This is only used when there is more ù than one moderator. If "split": there is one separate histogram for each moderator case. If "side": moderators are represented side by side for each value of the variable. If "stack": the bars of the moderators are stacked onto each other, the bar heights representing the distribution in the total population. You can use the other arguments within and total to say whether the distributions should be within each moderator or over the total distribution.
within: Logical, default is missing. Whether the distributions should be scaled to reflect the distribution within each moderator value. By default it is TRUE if mod.method is different from "stack".
total: Logical, default is missing. Whether the distributions should be scaled to reflect the total distribution (and not the distribution within each moderator value). By default it is TRUE only if mod.method="stack".
at_5: Equal to FALSE, "roman" or "line". When plotting categorical variables, adds a small Roman number under every 5 bars (at_5 = "roman"), or draws a thick axis line every 5 bars (at_5 = "line"). Helps to get the rank of the bars. The default depends on the type of data -- Not implemented when there is a moderator.
labels.tilted: Whether there should be tilted labels. Default is FALSE except when the data is split by moderators (see mod.method).
other: Logical. Should there be a last column counting for the observations not displayed? Default is TRUE except when the data is split.
cumul: Logical, default is FALSE. If TRUE, then the cumulative distribution is plotted.
centered: Logical, default is TRUE. For numeric data only and when sorted=FALSE, whether the histogram should be centered on the mode.
weight.fun: A function, by default it is sum. Aggregate function to be applied to the weight with respect to variable and the moderator. See examples.
int.categorical: Logical. Whether integers should be treated as categorical variables. By default they are treated as categorical only when their range is small (i.e. smaller than 1000).
dict: A dictionnary to rename the variables names in the axes and legend. Should be a named vector. By default it s the value of getFplot_dict(), which you can set with the function setFplot_dict.
mod.title: Character scalar. The title of the legend in case there is a moderator. You can set it to TRUE (the default) to display the moderator name. To display no title, set it to NULL or FALSE.
labels.angle: Only if the labels of the x-axis are tilted. The angle of the tilt.
cex.axis: Cex value to be passed to biased labels. By defaults, it finds automatically the right value.
trunc: If the main variable is a character, its values are truncaded to trunc characters. Default is 20. You can set the truncation method with the argument trunc.method.
trunc.method: If the elements of the x-axis need to be truncated, this is the truncation method. It can be "auto", "right" or "mid".
reset: Logical scalar, default is FALSE. Whether the defaults should be reset.

Value

The function setFplot_distr() does not return anything, it only sets the default parameters for the function plot_distr().

The function getFplot_distr() returns a named list containing the arguments that have been set with the function setFplot_distr().

# Changing the default color set for plot_distr only
