Write an Object to a Plot

Write an Object to a Plot

DESCRIPTION:

This function writes the contents of an object, which may be either a data frame or a matrix, to a plot.

USAGE:

write.object.fcn(obj, n.digits=2, r.names=TRUE, c.names=TRUE,
  r.cex=1, c.cex=1, miss="NA")

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

obj
the object (either a data frame or a matrix).

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

n.digits
the number of digits after the decimal point for numeric values. The default is 2.
r.names
a logical value that indicates whether to print the row names, where TRUE = print the row names and FALSE = do not print the row names. The default is TRUE.
c.names
a logical value that indicates whether to print the column names, where TRUE = print the column names and FALSE = do not print the column names. The default is TRUE.
r.cex
character expansion parameter for the row labels. The default is 1.
c.cex
character expansion parameter for the column labels. The default is 1.
miss
the missing value code expressed as a character string. The default is "NA".

VALUE:

NULL

SIDE EFFECTS:

None

EXAMPLES:

z <- rnorm(100)
z.mean <- c(tapply(z, rep(1:4, rep(25,4)), mean), mean(z))
z.sd <- sqrt(c(tapply(z, rep(1:4, rep(25,4)), var), var(z)))
z.upper <- z.mean+1.96*z.sd
z.lower <- z.mean-1.96*z.sd
obj <- data.frame(rbind(z.mean, z.sd, z.upper, z.lower))
dimnames(obj) <- list(c("Mean Estimate", "Standard Deviation",
  "Lower 95% Conf. Bound", "Upper 95% Conf. Bound"), c(
  paste("Stratum", 1:4, sep=""), "AllStrata"))
write.object.fcn(obj, n.digits=3, r.cex=0.75)

obj <- data.frame(matrix(round(5 + runif(30), 1), nrow=6))
colnames(obj) <- c("United.States", "Russia", "Germany",
  "Japan", "France")
write.object.fcn(obj, n.digits=1, r.names=FALSE)
