Text styling

Description

This is a collection of functions to allow styling of text

Apply a column span to a text element. The text will be printed in a grid viewport whose layout.pos.col spans the specified columns. If called multiple times on the same object, the most recent call overwrites the previous span (i.e. last call wins).

Usage

fp_txt_italic(txt)

fp_txt_bold(txt)

fp_txt_plain(txt)

fp_txt_gp(txt, gp)

fp_align_left(txt)

fp_align_center(txt)

fp_span(txt, columns)

fp_align_right(txt)

Arguments

txt	The text to style
gp	A grid::gpar() style to apply
columns	Integer vector of column indices to span. The span covers the continuous range between the smallest and largest values. Values are validated when the plot is built; they must lie between 1 and the number of label columns and may not include the graph column.

Value

A list of txt with style attributes

Examples

fp_txt_italic("Italic text")
# centre "Events / N" under columns 2 and 3
fp_span("Events / N", columns = c(2, 3))
