Spaces Between Bars — hsBpSpace • kwb.barplot

Calculates the spaces between bars of widths w at positions x as difference between the x values minus half the width of the bars/bar groups.

hsBpSpace(
  myWidth,
  position,
  myXlim = NULL,
  myBeside = FALSE,
  barsPerGroup = 1,
  innerSpace = 0,
  dbg = FALSE
)

Arguments

myWidth: Bar widths. If bars are to be stacked (isp = NULL, see below) w represents the widths of the different (stacked) bars. If bars are to be arranged side by side (isp >= 0) w represents the widths of the bars within one and the same bar group. Corresponding bars of different groups will always have the same width.
position: X-positions of bars/bar groups
myXlim: Vector containing minimum and maximum x-value to be shown in the plot.
myBeside: If TRUE, bars of a bar group are not stacked but arranged side by side. Then, myWidth contains the widths of the bars within one group. Otherwise (myBeside = FALSE) myWidth contains the widths of the (stacked) bars.
barsPerGroup: Number of bars per group. If this parameter is greater than 1, it means that bars are to be arranged side by side instead of stacked.
innerSpace: "Inner" space between bars of the same group (only used if bpg > 1).
dbg: whether to print debug messages or not

Returns a space vector as needed to be passed to the barplot function
