Usage

No	Name	Levels

Examples

data("Employment")

## Employment Status
mosaic(Employment,
       expected = ~ LayoffCause * EmploymentLength + EmploymentStatus,
       main = "Layoff*EmployLength + EmployStatus")

mosaic(Employment,
       expected = ~ LayoffCause * EmploymentLength + LayoffCause * EmploymentStatus,
       main = "Layoff*EmployLength + Layoff*EmployStatus")

## Stratified view

grid.newpage()
pushViewport(viewport(layout = grid.layout(ncol = 2)))
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 1))

## Closure
mosaic(Employment[,,1], main = "Layoff: Closure", newpage = FALSE)

popViewport(1)
pushViewport(viewport(layout.pos.col = 2))

## Replaced
mosaic(Employment[,,2], main = "Layoff: Replaced", newpage = FALSE)
popViewport(2)
