caroline: A Collection of Database, Data Structure, Data Conversion, Visualization, Reporting, and General Utility Functions
David Schruth · 2009
The caroline R library contains dozens of functions useful for: database migration (dbWriteTable2), database style joins & aggregation (nerge, groupBy, & bestBy), data structure conversion (nv, tab2df), legend table making (sstable & leghead), automatic legend positioning for scatter and box plots (), plot annotation (labsegs & mvlabs), data visualization (pies, sparge, confound.grid & raPlot), character string manipulation (m & pad), file I/O (write.delim), batch scripting, data exploration, and more. The package's greatest contributions lie in the database style merge, aggregation and interface functions as well as in it's extensive use and propagation of row, column and vector names in most functions.
