microplot - Microplots (Sparklines) in 'LaTeX', 'Word', 'HTML', 'Excel'
The microplot function writes a set of R graphics files to
be used as microplots (sparklines) in tables in either 'LaTeX',
'HTML', 'Word', or 'Excel' files. For 'LaTeX', we provide
methods for the Hmisc::latex() generic function to construct
'latex' tabular environments which include the graphs. These
can be used directly with the operating system 'pdflatex' or
'latex' command, or by using one of 'Sweave', 'knitr',
'rmarkdown', or 'Emacs org-mode' as an intermediary. For 'MS
Word', the msWord() function uses the 'flextable' package to
construct 'Word' tables which include the graphs. There are
several distinct approaches for constructing HTML files. The
simplest is to use the msWord() function with argument
filetype="html". Alternatively, use either 'Emacs org-mode' or
the htmlTable::htmlTable() function to construct an 'HTML' file
containing tables which include the graphs. See the
documentation for our as.htmlimg() function. For 'Excel' use
on 'Windows', the file examples/irisExcel.xls includes 'VBA'
code which brings the individual panels into individual cells
in the spreadsheet. Examples in the examples and demo
subdirectories are shown with 'lattice' graphics, 'ggplot2'
graphics, and 'base' graphics. Examples for 'LaTeX' include
'Sweave' (both 'LaTeX'-style and 'Noweb'-style), 'knitr',
'emacs org-mode', and 'rmarkdown' input files and their 'pdf'
output files. Examples for 'HTML' include 'org-mode' and 'Rmd'
input files and their webarchive 'HTML' output files. In
addition, the as.orgtable() function can display a data.frame
in an 'org-mode' document. The examples for 'MS Word' (with
either filetype="docx" or filetype="html") work with all
operating systems. The package does not require the
installation of 'LaTeX' or 'MS Word' to be able to write '.tex'
or '.docx' files.
