# Playing with fonts and texts

> This vignette covers changes between versions 0.2.4 and 0.2.5 for additional texts and fonts customization enabled for subtitles and captions.

# Survival plot

## Basic

Compare the basic plot

    library("survival")
    fit<- survfit(Surv(time, status) ~ sex, data = lung)

    # Drawing survival curves
    ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung)

## Customized

with the plot where every possible text on a `plot` is specified

    ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung,
       title = "Survival curves", subtitle = "Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates",
       caption = "created with survminer",
       font.title = c(16, "bold", "darkblue"),
       font.subtitle = c(15, "bold.italic", "purple"),
       font.caption = c(14, "plain", "orange"),
       font.x = c(14, "bold.italic", "red"),
       font.y = c(14, "bold.italic", "darkred"),
       font.tickslab = c(12, "plain", "darkgreen"))

# Risk table

Now allow `risk.table` to be displayed.

## Basic

Please compare basic plot with a risk table

    ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung, risk.table = TRUE)

## Customized

with the plot where every possible text on a `plot` and `table` is specified

    ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung,
       title = "Survival curves", subtitle = "Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates",
       caption = "created with survminer",
       font.title = c(16, "bold", "darkblue"),
       font.subtitle = c(15, "bold.italic", "purple"),
       font.caption = c(14, "plain", "orange"),
       font.x = c(14, "bold.italic", "red"),
       font.y = c(14, "bold.italic", "darkred"),
       font.tickslab = c(12, "plain", "darkgreen"),
       ########## risk table #########,
       risk.table = TRUE,
       risk.table.title = "Note the risk set sizes",
       risk.table.subtitle = "and remember about censoring.",
       risk.table.caption = "source code: website.com",
       risk.table.height = 0.45)

# ncens plot

Finally, allow `ncens.plot` to be displayed.

## Basic

Please compare basic plot with a risk table and a `ncens` plot

    ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung, risk.table = TRUE, ncensor.plot = TRUE)

## Customized

with the full customization

    ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung,
       title = "Survival curves", subtitle = "Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates",
       caption = "created with survminer",
       font.title = c(16, "bold", "darkblue"),
       font.subtitle = c(15, "bold.italic", "purple"),
       font.caption = c(14, "plain", "orange"),
       font.x = c(14, "bold.italic", "red"),
       font.y = c(14, "bold.italic", "darkred"),
       font.tickslab = c(12, "plain", "darkgreen"),
       ########## risk table #########,
       risk.table = TRUE,
       risk.table.title = "Note the risk set sizes",
       risk.table.subtitle = "and remember about censoring.",
       risk.table.caption = "source code: website.com",
       risk.table.height = 0.35,
       ncensor.plot = TRUE,
       ncensor.plot.title = "Number of censorings",
       ncensor.plot.subtitle = "over the time.",
       ncensor.plot.caption = "data available at data.com",
       ncensor.plot.height = 0.35)

# Notes

- Note that you will probably need to extend the default risk table height and ncens plot height after those customizations.
- Distinct between `title` and `subtitle` for the `curve_plot` and `risk.table.title` and `risk.table.subtitle` for the `table` / `ncens.plot.title` and `ncens.plot.subtitle` for the `ncens`.
- Fonts are set simultaneously for the `curve_plot`, for the `table` and for the `ncens` parts. This might change in the future.
