Make a ggplot2 model diagram.

Source: R/make_diagram.R

make_diagram() generates a ggplot2 object based on the data frames made with prepare_diagram and, optionally, updated with update_diagram.

make_diagram(diagram_list, with_grid = FALSE)

Arguments

diagram_list

A required list of data frames returned from the prepare_diagram function and, optionally, updated with update_diagram. See those functions for details about this object.

with_grid

A logical indicating whether to return the ggplot with a grid. Default is FALSE. The grid can be helpful if you want/need to move items around.

Value

A ggplot2 object.

Details

This function uses all the information in the data frames list generated by prepare_diagram and, optionally, updated with update_diagram to make a ggplot2 object. All location information and aesthetics are assumed fixed at this point -- no updates are made within this function. The underlying ggplot2 code can be viewed by typing make_diagram with no parentheses in the R console.

Examples

mymodel = list(variables = c("S","I","R"),
               flows = list(S_flows = c("-b*S*I"),
                            I_flows = c("b*S*I","-g*I"),
                            R_flows = c("g*I") ) )
diagram_list <- prepare_diagram(model_list = mymodel)

# make diagram without grid
diagram <- make_diagram(diagram_list)

# make diagram with grid
diagram_with_grid <- make_diagram(diagram_list, with_grid = TRUE)
