Japanese word-wrapping labeller for ggplot2

Description

Wraps character strings using Japanese phrase boundaries and returns labels suitable for use with ggplot2 scales.

labels	A character vector of labels to wrap.
wrap	An integer giving the target number of characters per line.
width	An integer giving the maximum total width of the wrapped label.

• label_wrap_jp() returns a character vector of wrapped labels.

• label_wrap_jp_gen() returns a labeller function for use in ggplot2 scales.

  scales::demo_discrete(polano[4:6], labels = label_wrap_jp_gen())
}
