| Description: | Selected utilities, in particular 'geoms' and 'stats'
    functions, extending the 'ggplot2' package. This package imports
    functions from 'EnvStats' <doi:10.1007/978-1-4614-8456-1> by Millard
    (2013), 'ggpp' https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggpp by Aphalo et
    al. (2023) and 'ggstats' <doi:10.5281/zenodo.10183964> by Larmarange
    (2023), and then exports them. This package also contains modified
    code from 'ggquickeda' https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggquickeda
    by Mouksassi et al. (2023) for Kaplan-Meier lines and ticks additions
    to plots.  All functions are tested to make sure that they work
    reliably. |

![[Experimental]](./figures/lifecycle-experimental.svg) 
Additional ggplot2::ggproto objects used by the custom geom and
stat functions.
Usage
GeomKm
GeomKmTicks
StatKm
StatKmTicks
Format
An object of class GeomKm (inherits from GeomStep, GeomPath, Geom, ggproto, gg) of length 4.
An object of class GeomKmTicks (inherits from Geom, ggproto, gg) of length 6.
An object of class StatKm (inherits from Stat, ggproto, gg) of length 5.

Author(s)
GeomKm, StatKm, GeomKmTicks and StatKmTicks were modified
(in particular certain functionality was removed) from code

Add a Kaplan-Meier Survival Curve
Description
![[Experimental]](./figures/lifecycle-experimental.svg) Adds the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.
Adds the Kaplan-Meier survival curve.
Usage
geom_km(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "km",
  position = "identity",
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE,
  na.rm = TRUE,
  ...
)
Arguments
| mapping | Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified andinherit.aes = TRUE(the default), it is combined with the default mapping
at the top level of the plot. You must supplymappingif there is no plot
mapping. | 
| data | The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three
options:
 If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot
data as specified in the call toggplot(). A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot
data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. Seefortify()for which variables will be created. A functionwill be called with a single argument,
the plot data. The return value must be adata.frame, and
will be used as the layer data. Afunctioncan be created
from aformula(e.g.~ head(.x, 10)). | 
| stat | The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer.
When using a geom_*()function to construct a layer, thestatargument can be used the override the default coupling between geoms and
stats. Thestatargument accepts the following: 
 A Statggproto subclass, for exampleStatCount. A string naming the stat. To give the stat as a string, strip the
function name of the stat_prefix. For example, to usestat_count(),
give the stat as"count". For more information and other ways to specify the stat, see the
layer stat documentation.
 | 
| position | A position adjustment to use on the data for this layer. This
can be used in various ways, including to prevent overplotting and
improving the display. The positionargument accepts the following: 
 The result of calling a position function, such as position_jitter().
This method allows for passing extra arguments to the position. A string naming the position adjustment. To give the position as a
string, strip the function name of the position_prefix. For example,
to useposition_jitter(), give the position as"jitter". For more information and other ways to specify the position, see the
layer position documentation.
 | 
| show.legend | logical. Should this layer be included in the legends?
NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped.FALSEnever includes, andTRUEalways includes.
It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to
display. | 
| inherit.aes | If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics,
rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions
that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from
the default plot specification, e.g.borders(). | 
| na.rm | If FALSE, the default, missing values are removed with
a warning. IfTRUE, missing values are silently removed. | 
| ... | Other arguments passed on to layer()'sparamsargument. These
arguments broadly fall into one of 4 categories below. Notably, further
arguments to thepositionargument, or aesthetics that are required
can not be passed through.... Unknown arguments that are not part
of the 4 categories below are ignored. 
 Static aesthetics that are not mapped to a scale, but are at a fixed
value and apply to the layer as a whole. For example, colour = "red"orlinewidth = 3. The geom's documentation has an Aesthetics
section that lists the available options. The 'required' aesthetics
cannot be passed on to theparams. Please note that while passing
unmapped aesthetics as vectors is technically possible, the order and
required length is not guaranteed to be parallel to the input data. When constructing a layer using
a stat_*()function, the...argument can be used to pass on
parameters to thegeompart of the layer. An example of this isstat_density(geom = "area", outline.type = "both"). The geom's
documentation lists which parameters it can accept. Inversely, when constructing a layer using a
geom_*()function, the...argument can be used to pass on parameters
to thestatpart of the layer. An example of this isgeom_area(stat = "density", adjust = 0.5). The stat's documentation
lists which parameters it can accept. The key_glyphargument oflayer()may also be passed on through.... This can be one of the functions described as
key glyphs, to change the display of the layer in the legend. | 
Aesthetics
geom_km() understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics in bold):
-  x: the survival/censoring times, automatically mapped bystat_km().
 
-  y: the survival probability estimates, automatically mapped bystat_km().
 
-  alpha
 
-  color
 
-  linetype
 
-  linewidth
 
Author(s)
Inspired by geom_km written by Michael Sachs (in ggkm) and
Samer Mouksassi (in ggquickeda). Here we directly use ggplot2::geom_step()
instead of the more general ggplot2::geom_path().

The default stat for this geom is stat_km().
Examples
library(ggplot2)
sex <- rbinom(250, 1, .5)
df <- data.frame(
  time = exp(rnorm(250, mean = sex)),
  status = rbinom(250, 1, .75),
  sex = sex
)
ggplot(df, aes(time = time, status = status, color = factor(sex))) +

Compute Proportions According to Custom Denominator

See ggstats::stat_prop() for details.
Value
A plot layer containing the custom proportions.
Table themes
Description

Set default table theme
Description
![[Experimental]](./figures/lifecycle-experimental.svg) 
See ggpp::ttheme_set() for details.
Value
A named list with the previous value of the option.
Note
When testing this function, we found that in contrast to the original
documentation, the theme is not fixed when the plot object is constructed.
Instead, the option setting affects the rendering of ready built plot
objects.
