showtext.auto: Automatically Using 'showtext' for New Graphics Devices

This function could turn on/off the automatic use of showtext functionality. If turned on, any newly opened graphics devices will use showtext to draw text. This helps to avoid the repeated calls of showtext.begin() and showtext.end().

Usage

showtext.auto(enable = TRUE)

Arguments

enable

TRUE to turn on and FALSE to turn off

pdf("test2.pdf")
plot(1, main = "\u6b22\u8fce", family = "wqy-microhei")
