In ggChinaFlag: Drawing Chinese National and Historical Flags with 'ggplot2'

Plot a Chinese national or historical flag by name

Description

A unified interface that dispatches to the appropriate low-level plotting function based on the supplied flag name (Chinese or English) and returns a ggplot object.

Usage

plotCNFlag(input, label = TRUE)

Arguments

input	Character string giving the flag to plot, either a Chinese or an English name; see FlagStorage for the supported names.
label	Logical; whether to display the title and text annotations. Default is TRUE.

Details

The function obtains the built-in name list via FlagStorage, detects the input language, matches the name, and forwards to one of plot_P.R.CHINA_flag, plot_ROC_KMT_flag, plot_ROC_Beiyang_flag, plot_Han18Star, plot_CCP or plot_KMT. An unrecognised name raises an error.

Value

A ggplot object, which can be printed directly or saved with ggsave().
