Adding lines to a swimmers plot

This function allows you to add lines to a swimmers plot created with swimmer_plot

swimmer_lines(
  df_lines,
  id = "id",
  start = "start",
  end = "end",
  adj.y = 0,
  name_linetype = NULL,
  name_col = NULL,
  name_size = NULL,
  name_alpha = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

df_lines

a data frame

id

column name for id, default is 'id'

start

column name with the line start locations

end

column name with the line end locations

adj.y

amount to adjust the line within the box vertically (default is 0, line is in the centre of each bar)

name_linetype

a column name to map the line type

name_col

a column name to map the line colour

name_size

a column name to map the line size

name_alpha

Examples

#Start with a base swimmer plot
swim_plot <-
swimmer_plot(df=ClinicalTrial.Arm,id='id',end='End_trt',name_fill='Arm',col="black",id_order='Arm')


# Then add lines to the plot

swim_plot_with_lines <- swim_plot +
swimmer_lines(df_lines=ClinicalTrial.Response,id='id',start =
'Response_start',end='Response_end',name_col='Response',size=3)


# Add ggplot layers to improve the plot's aesthetic

swim_plot_with_lines +
ggplot2::scale_color_manual(name="Response",values=c("grey20","grey80"))+
ggplot2::scale_fill_manual(name="Treatment",values=c("#e41a1c", "#377eb8","#4daf4a"))+
ggplot2::ylab('Time (Days)')
