Plot the Blue Sky with a White Sun flag (Kuomintang / Republic of China)

Description

This function programmatically renders the Blue Sky with a White Sun symbol using analytic geometry and ggplot2-based vector graphics. The emblem consists of a blue background and a twelve-rayed white sun, constructed entirely from geometric primitives such as polygons, circles, and arcs, without relying on any external image files.

Usage

plot_KMT(label = TRUE)

Arguments

label

Logical value indicating whether to display textual annotations (title and axis labels). Default is TRUE.

Details

The geometric construction follows the official construction sheets and historical specifications of the flag, ensuring proportional accuracy of the twelve rays and concentric circles.

The twelve-rayed sun is constructed by alternating outer and inner vertices arranged in clockwise order, forming a closed polygon. Two concentric circles are then overlaid to form the central white sun core.

Value

A ggplot object representing the Blue Sky with a White Sun flag.
