ggdnog

The goal of ggdnog is to provide some helpful functions for daily use at a GGD.

Installation

You can install the development version of ggdnog from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("aartdijkstra/ggdnog")

Useful functions

Some basic helpers are:

• printf() - wrapper for sprintf() which outputs the result
• freq.table() - combines the functionality of table() and proportions() into a human-readable frequency table with included proportions and chi^2-testing
• describe() - combines the functionality of summary() and aggregate into a human-readable summary of data structures. Characters and factors are automatically presented in a table, and the missing parameters from summary() are added for numerical types.
• dir_maps() - automatically traverses the directory tree searching for a specific location with maps
• scale_value() and scale_axis() - allow for easy rescaling of results for a secondary y-axis in ggplot

library(ggdnog)

printf("This allows for easy printing of numbers (%d, %.1f) and other types (%s).",
       5, 0.24, "like this string")
       
data = data.frame(weight = rnorm(100, mean=70, sd=15),
                  gender = c(rep("male", 50), rep("female", 50)))
describe(data, "gender")
describe(data$weight, data$gender)
