Quickly create a bar chart which shows volume over time.

You can use the time_unit argument to display counts for different time frames, e.g. time = "day" will give a chart where each bar represents the volume counts for a day. To give the bars new colours, enter a string into bar_colour = , the string should be a hexcode e.g. "#440154FF" or the name of a colour e.g. "midnightblue"

Usage

dr_plot_vot(
  data,
  date_var = date,
  plot_type = c("line", "bar"),
  colour = "#440154FF",
  time_unit = c("day", "week", "month", "quarter", "year"),
  smooth = FALSE
)

Arguments

data

Data Frame or Tibble object

date_var

Date column

plot_type

Should the plot be shown as a line or a bar chart?

colour

Colour of line/bars - string, name of hexcode

time_unit

A single unit of time fed into lubridate::floor_date "week", "day", "month","quarter", "year"

smooth

Add a smoothing line (geom_smooth) to the plot?

Value

ggplot object

Examples

DisplayR::disp_example %>% dr_plot_vot(date = date, time_unit = "day")
