textellipse {diagram} | R Documentation

## adds lines of text in an ellipsoid box to a plot

### Description

adds one or more lines of text, centered around "mid" in an ellipsoid box

### Usage

    textellipse(mid, radx, rady = radx*length(lab), lwd = 1,
                shadow.size = 0.01, adj = c(0.5, 0.5), lab = "",
                box.col = "white", lcol = "black", shadow.col = "grey",
                angle = 0, dr = 0.01, ...)

### Arguments

`mid` | midpoint (x,y) of the box.
`radx` | horizontal radius of the box.
`rady` | vertical radius of the box.
`lwd` | line width of line surrounding the box.
`shadow.size` | relative size of shadow.
`adj` | text adjustment.
`lab` | one label or a vector string of labels to be added in box.
`box.col` | fill color of the box.
`lcol` | line color surrounding box.
`shadow.col` | color of shadow.
`angle` | rotation angle, degrees.
`dr` | size of segments, in radians, to draw ellipse (decrease for smoother).
`...` | other arguments passed to function textplain.

### Details

see `shadowbox` for specifications of the ellipsoid-shaped box and its shadow
