Plot an Epidemic Curve
Description
This function plot an epidemic curve with ggplot2
Usage
EpiCurve(x, date = NULL,freq = NULL, cutvar = NULL,
   period = NULL, to.period = NULL, split = 1, cutorder = NULL, colors = NULL,
   title = NULL, xlabel = NULL, ylabel=NULL, note=NULL, square = TRUE)
Arguments
| x | data.frame with at least one column with Date type | 
| date | character, name of Date column | 
| freq | character, name of a column with a value to display | 
| cutvar | character, name of a column with factors | 
| period | character, c("hour", "day","week", "month") | 
| to.period | character, Convert date period to another period only for aggregated data. If period is "day", to.period can be "week" or "month". If period is "week", to.period can be "month". | 
| split | integer, c(1,2,3,4,6,8,12) Value for hourly split | 
| cutorder | character vector of factors | 
| colors | character vector of colors | 
| title | character, title of the plot | 
| xlabel | character, label for x axis | 
| ylabel | character, label for y axis | 
| note | character, add a note under the graph | 
| square | boolean, If TRUE (default) squares are used to plot the curve, else if the number of cases is too hight please use square = FALSE | 
Details
When period is "week" the date MUST be in ISOweek format YYYY-WNN and library ISOweek is needed. When period is "month" the date MUST be formated YYYY-MM.
When period is "hour" the date MUST be in timeDate format (YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS) or (YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM)
