Use histograms and boxplots to get an general idea of what data looks like

Creates a subplot for each specified feature. Each subplot can be histogram or a boxplot.

generate.descriptive.plots(
  inputted.data,
  overall.plot.layout,
  plot.type,
  plot.features,
  plot.name
)

Arguments

inputted.data

A dataframe.
overall.plot.layout

A vector with two elements to specify how many rows and columns to include in the par plot. c(rows, cols)
plot.type

A vector that specifies, for each subplot, should features be displayed in histogram or boxplot form. Elements can be "histogram" or "boxplot".
plot.features

A vector that specifies, for each subplot, what features should be analyzed. The elements should be names of columns that contain continous numerical data.
plot.name

A string for the name of the plot.

Value

No object is outputted, but a plot is displayed.
