resolvePlotDescription {Rggobi} | R Documentation |
Plot descriptions are templates for creating plots. The variables in the plot description are virtual in the sense that they have not been resolved to a particular dataset and variable. This function performs that mapping, returning a fully self-describing plot description from which a real plot can be instantiated directly.
This function is not typically called by the user, but used
internally by the plotLayout
function.
resolvePlotDescription(desc, .data = 1, .gobi=getDefaultGGobi(), isError = TRUE)
desc |
the plot description whose variable references are to be resolved. |
.data |
the dataset in the ggobi instance relative to which the variable
references will be resolved. This should be specified as a ggobiDataset ,
name or integer. |
.gobi |
the ggobi instance in which to find the dataset. If .data
is supplied as a ggobiDataset , this is not used. Otherwise, it can be
a ggobi object or an integer |
isError |
a logical value, if TRUE means an error is generated if any of the variables are not found in the GGobi dataset. The purpose of this argument is to allow the caller to turn off errors in order to process multiple plots and then report the missing variables for all of them. This is often preferrable to reporting the first error and have the user solve the problems iteratively. |
An object of the same class as the input argument desc
,
but with the .ggobi
and .data
slots
substituted with the values given in the call, and
the variable references converted to integers identifying
the variables within the dataset referenced by this object
(in the .data
field).
