R: Create a Text Graphical object

text_grob {ggpubr} | R Documentation

## Create a Text Graphical object

### Description

Create easily a customized text grob (graphical object). Wrapper around `textGrob`.

### Usage

    text_grob(label, just = "centre", hjust = NULL, vjust = NULL, rot = 0,
      color = "black", face = "plain", size = NULL, lineheight = NULL,
      family = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`label` | A character or expression vector. Other objects are coerced by `as.graphicsAnnot`.
`just` | The justification of the text relative to its (x, y) location. If there are two values, the first value specifies horizontal justification and the second value specifies vertical justification. Possible string values are: `"left"`, `"right"`, `"centre"`, `"center"`, `"bottom"`, and `"top"`. For numeric values, 0 means left alignment and 1 means right alignment.
`hjust` | A numeric vector specifying horizontal justification. If specified, overrides the `just` setting.
`vjust` | A numeric vector specifying vertical justification. If specified, overrides the `just` setting.
`rot` | The angle to rotate the text.
`color` | text font color.
`face` | font face. Allowed values include one of `"plain", "bold", "italic", "bold.italic"`.
`size` | font size (e.g.: size = 12)
`lineheight` | line height (e.g.: lineheight = 2).
`family` | font family.
`...` | other arguments passed to textGrob.

### Value

a text grob.

### Examples

    text <- paste("iris data set gives the measurements in cm",
                 "of the variables sepal length and width",
                 "and petal length and width, respectively,",
                 "for 50 flowers from each of 3 species of iris.",
                 "The species are Iris setosa, versicolor, and virginica.", sep = "\n")

    # Create a text grob
    tgrob <- text_grob(text, face = "italic", color = "steelblue")
    # Draw the text
    as_ggplot(tgrob)
