l_layer_texts: Layer texts

Description

Loon's displays that are based on Cartesian coordinates (i.e. scatterplot, histogram and graph display) allow for layering visual information including polygons, text and rectangles.

Layer a vector of character strings.

Usage

l_layer_texts(
  widget,
  x,
  y,
  text,
  color = "gray60",
  size = 6,
  angle = 0,
  anchor = "center",
  justify = "center",
  label = "texts",
  parent = "root",
  index = 0,
  active = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

widget

widget path name as a string

x

vector of x coordinates

y

vector of y coordinates

text

vector with text strings

color

color of text

size

font size

angle

text rotation

anchor

specifies how the information in a text is to be displayed in the widget. Must be one of the values c("n", "ne", "e", "se", "s", "sw", "w", "nw", "center). For example, "nw" means display the information such that its top-left corner is at the top-left corner of the widget.

justify

when there are multiple lines of text displayed in a widget, this option determines how the lines line up with each other. Must be one of c("left", "center", "right"). "Left" means that the lines' left edges all line up, "center" means that the lines' centers are aligned, and "right" means that the lines' right edges line up.

label

label used in the layers inspector

parent

group layer

index

of the newly added layer in its parent group

active

a logical determining whether objects appear or not (default is TRUE for all).

...

additional state initialization arguments, see l_info_states

Value

layer object handle, layer id

Details

As a side effect of Tcl's text-based design, it is best to use l_layer_text if one would like to layer a single character string (and not l_layer_texts with n=1).

if(interactive()){

p <- l_plot()
l <- l_layer_texts(p, x=1:3, y=3:1, text=c("This is", "a", "test"), size=20)
l_scaleto_world(p)
}
