R Documentation

Plot a Chinese national, historical, party, regional, organisation, or military 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 the appropriate plotting function. Supported functions include plot_P.R.CHINA_flag, plot_ROC_KMT_flag, plot_ROC_Beiyang_flag, plot_Han18Star, plot_CCP, plot_KMT, plot_HK_SAR_flag, plot_Macao_SAR_flag, plot_CYLC, and plot_PLA (for the general PLA flag and its service branches). An unrecognised name raises an error.

Value

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