Plot time series and lasagna plots of glucose measurements

Source: R/plot_glu.R
plot_glu.Rd

The function `plot_glu` supports several plotting methods for both single and multiple subject data.

Usage

plot_glu(
  data,
  plottype = c("tsplot", "lasagna"),
  datatype = c("all", "average", "single"),
  lasagnatype = c("unsorted", "timesorted"),
  LLTR = 70,
  ULTR = 180,
  subjects = NULL,
  inter_gap = 45,
  tz = "",
  color_scheme = c("blue-red", "red-orange"),
  log = F,
  static_or_gui = c("ggplot", "plotly")
)

Arguments

data

DataFrame with column names ("id", "time", and "gl").

plottype

Default: "tsplot". One of ('tsplot', 'lasagna'). String corresponding to the desired plot type. Options are 'tsplot' for a time series plot and 'lasagna' for a lasagna plot. See the `lasagnatype` parameter for further options corresponding to the 'lasagna' `plottype`.

datatype

String corresponding to data aggregation used for plotting, currently supported options are 'all' which plots all glucose measurements within the first maxd days for each subject, and 'average' which plots average 24 hour glucose values across days for each subject

lasagnatype

String corresponding to plot type when using datatype = "average", currently supported options are 'unsorted' for an unsorted lasagna plot, 'timesorted' for a lasagna plot with glucose values sorted within each time point across subjects, and '`subjectsorted`' for a lasagna plot with glucose values sorted within each subject across time points.

LLTR

Default: 70. Lower Limit of Target Range in mg/dL.

ULTR

Default: 180. Upper Limit of Target Range in mg/dL.

subjects

String or list of strings corresponding to subject names in 'id' column of data. Default is all subjects.

inter_gap

Default: 45. The maximum allowable gap (in minutes). Gaps larger than this will not be connected in the time series plot.

tz

A character string specifying the time zone to be used. System-specific (see as.POSIXct), but " " is the current time zone, and "GMT" is UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated). Invalid values are most commonly treated as UTC, on some platforms with a warning.

color_scheme

Default: "blue-red". String corresponding to the chosen color scheme when the `plottype` is 'lasagna'. By default, 'blue-red' scheme is used, with the values below `LLTR` colored in shades of blue, and values above `ULTR` colored in shades of red. The alternative 'red-orange' scheme mimics AGP output from agp with low values colored in red, in-range values colored in green, and high values colored in yellow and orange.

log

Default: FALSE. Boolean indicating whether `log10` of glucose values should be taken. When `log = TRUE`, the glucose values, LLTR, and ULTR will all be log transformed, and time series plots will be on a semilogarithmic scale.

static_or_gui

Default: "ggplot". One of ("ggplot", "plotly"). Returns either a ggplot (static image) or Plotly chart (interactive GUI).

Value

Any output from the plot object

Details

For the default option `plottype = tsplot`, a time series graph for each subject is produced with hypo- and hyperglycemia cutoffs shown as horizontal red lines. The time series plots for all subjects chosen (all by default) are displayed on a grid.

The 'lasagna' plot type works best when the datatype argument is set to average.

Examples


data(example_data_1_subject)
plot_glu(example_data_1_subject)


data(example_data_5_subject)
plot_glu(example_data_5_subject, subjects = 'Subject 2')

plot_glu(example_data_5_subject, plottype = 'tsplot', tz = 'EST', LLTR = 70, ULTR = 150)

plot_glu(example_data_5_subject, plottype = 'lasagna', lasagnatype = 'timesorted')
