caroline: A Collection of Database, Data Structure, Visualization, and Utility Functions for R

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 (legend.position), plot annotation (labsegs & mvlabs), data visualization (pies & raPlot), character string manipulation (m & pad), file I/O (write.delim), batch scripting, data exploration, and more. The package's greatest contributions stem from its 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. The latest additions are plotting functions (confound.grid & sparge) that intake a dataframe & formulas to visually resolve variable confounding.
