This function takes a character vector of conditions and shortens the predicates within each condition according to a specified method.
Details
Each element of x
must be a condition formatted as a string, e.g.
"{a=1,b=100,c=3}"
(see format_condition()
). The function then
shortens the predicates in each condition based on the selected method
:
"letters"
: predicates are replaced with single letters from the English alphabet, starting withA
for the first distinct predicate;"abbrev4"
: predicates are abbreviated to at most 4 characters usingabbreviate()
;"abbrev8"
: predicates are abbreviated to at most 8 characters usingabbreviate()
;"none"
: no shortening is applied; predicates remain unchanged.
Predicate shortening is useful for visualization or reporting, especially
when original predicate names are long or complex. Note that shortening is
applied consistently across all conditions in x
.
Examples
shorten_condition(c("{a=1,b=100,c=3}", "{a=2}", "{b=100,c=3}"),
method = "letters")
#> [1] "{A,B,C}" "{D}" "{B,C}"
shorten_condition(c("{helloWorld=1}", "{helloWorld=2}", "{c=3,helloWorld=1}"),
method = "abbrev4")
#> [1] "{hllW=1}" "{hllW=2}" "{c=3,hllW=1}"
shorten_condition(c("{helloWorld=1}", "{helloWorld=2}", "{c=3,helloWorld=1}"),
method = "abbrev8")
#> [1] "{hellWrld=1}" "{hellWrld=2}" "{c=3,hellWrld=1}"
shorten_condition(c("{helloWorld=1}", "{helloWorld=2}"),
method = "none")
#> [1] "{helloWorld=1}" "{helloWorld=2}"
