Get figure height

This function produces a dataframe with the ideal figure height for the facet plots produced by make_facet_plot(). These facet plots have a three-column layout with varying numbers of rows. This function first determines the number of rows required for a three-column layout, and then determines the required figure height. Typically, this is four times the number of rows.

Usage

get_fig_height(data, plot_category, plot_treatment, plot_sex)

Arguments

data

A dataframe containing the raw evoked current data generated from make_normalized_EPSC_data(). If pruned = "yes" you must use the $individual_cells component of a pruned dataset.

plot_category

A numeric value specifying the category, which can be used to differentiate different protocol types. In the sample dataset for this package, plot_category == 2 represents experiments where insulin was applied continuously after a 5-minute baseline period.

plot_treatment

A character value specifying the treatment you would like to plot (e.g. "Control"). plot_treatment represents antagonists that were present on the brain slice, or the animals were fasted, etc.

plot_sex

A character value ("Male" or "Female") corresponding to the sex you would like to plot.

Value

A dataframe with a numerical value indicating the ideal figure height for each combination of category, treatment and sex.

Details

This function is ideal if combined with the chunk options of an RMarkdown document. Set fig.width = 14 and fig.height = get_fig_height(...). Replace the ... with the correct category, treatment and sex you'd like to plot. Plot only one facet plot per chunk.
