Helper function to generate a caption string based on provided attributes

Generates a caption string based on provided attributes.

Usage

generate_caption(attributes)

Arguments

attributes: A list containing various attributes that may include dimension, num_steps, mu, and sd.

Value

A character string representing the generated caption. If no attributes are provided, it returns an empty string.

Details

This function is useful for creating descriptive captions for plots or outputs based on the attributes provided. It ensures that only non-null attributes are included in the caption.

Examples

attrs <- list(dimension = 3, num_steps = 100, mu = 0.5, sd = 1.2)
generate_caption(attrs) # "3 dimensions, 100 steps, mu = 0.5, sd = 1.2."
#> [1] "3 dimensions, 100 steps, mu = 0.5, sd = 1.2."

attrs <- list(dimension = NULL, num_steps = 50, mu = NULL, sd = 2.0)
generate_caption(attrs) # "50 steps, sd = 2.0."
#> [1] "50 steps, sd = 2."
