utile.visuals

Overview

A small set of functions for making visuals for publication in ggplot2. Includes minimalist themes with transparent backgrounds and a suite of tools for building Kaplan-Meier curves with risk tables.

Functions

> gg

• ggrisktable(): A simple wrapper function which calculates the numbers at risk for a survival model and a given set of time points then creates a ggplot2 table with them.

> geom_

• geom_stepconfint(): Produces a step function confidence interval for survival curves. Essentially the ggplot2::geom_step() for confidence intervals which ggplot2 elects not to provide.

> theme_

• theme_white(): A ggplot2 theme which removes most background elements and makes all text/lines white.
• theme_black(): A ggplot2 theme which removes most background elements and makes all text/lines black.
• theme_risk_white(): Minimalist ggplot2 theme which removes most background elements and makes all text/lines white.
• theme_risk_black(): Minimalist ggplot2 theme which removes most background elements and makes all text/lines black.

> append_

• append_table(): Aligns axes and combines a ggplot2 plot and table into a single plot. Can handle legends.

> connect_

• connect_origin(): Connects tidy'd survival::survfit data to the origin of a plot.
