Hi All,
I thought I?d try to get a function working instead of block copying code and
editing. My backorund is more SAS, so using a SAS Macro would be easy, but not
so lucky with R functions.
R being used on Mac Sierra 10.12.4:
R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair"
Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0 (64-bit)
resp<-read.csv("//users//gerard//gs//r_work//xyz.csv", header =
TRUE)
v5 <-subset(resp, subset=visit==5 & pp==1)
plot_f1 <-function(n1,n2,n3) {
attach(v8)
par(oma=c(2,2,2,2))
boxplot(formula = d_comp ~ rx_grp,
main="Figure 2\nChange in Composite Score at Visit 5 (Day
31)\nPer Protocol Population",
ylim=c(-10,5),
names=c('Placebo(N=n1) ',
'Low Dose(N=n2) ',
'High Dose(N=n3)'),
ylab='Change from Baseline')
abline(h=c(0), col="lightgray")
}
plot_f1(n1=114, n2=119, n3=116)
The above is a simplified example where I am trying to pass 3 arguments, n1-n3,
to be shown in the x-axis tables, Instead of the numbers, I get the literal n1,
n2, n3.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerard

HI Gerard,
You get the literals because the variables are not implicitly expanded -
'Placebo(N=n1) ' is just a string indicating the N = n1.
What you want is to use paste() or paste0():
c(paste0("Placebo(N=", n1, ")"), paste0("Low Dose
(N=", n2, ")"),
paste0("High Dose (N=", n3, ")"))
should do it.
I was taught a long ago that attach() should be avoided to avoid name
conflicts. Also, it makes it difficult to figure out which data is actually
being used.

Hi Ulrik, That worked perfectly. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Hi Ulrik,
If I can trouble you with one more question.
Now trying to send a string to the main= . I was able to pass the data name in
data=in_data, but same logic is not working in passion the main string.
plot_f1 <-function(indata,n1,n2,n3,fig_descrip) {
par(oma=c(2,2,2,2))
boxplot(formula = d_comp ~ rx_grp,
data="indata?, # <- worked fine here.
main="fig_descrip",
ylim=c(-10,5),
names=c(paste0("Placebo(N=", n1, ")"),
paste0("Low Dose(N=", n2, ")"),
paste0("High Dose(N=", n3,")")),
ylab='Change from Baseline')
abline(h=c(0), col="lightgray")
}
plot_f1(indata=v5, n1=114, n2=119, n3=116, fig_descrip=Figure 2a\nChange in
Composite Score at Visit 5 (Day 31)\nPer Protocol Population)
Error Message: Error: unexpected numeric constant in "plot_f1(indata=v5,
n1=114, n2=119, n3=116, fig_descrip=Figure 2?
Even this call gives the same error: plot_f1(indata=v5, n1=114, n2=119, n3=116,
fig_descrip=Figure)
Thanks,
Gerard
