In ggpp: Grammar Extensions to 'ggplot2'

#' Text with Normalised Parent Coordinates
#'
#' \code{geom_text_npc()} adds text directly to the plot.
#' \code{geom_label_npc()} draws a rectangle behind the text, making it easier
#' to read. The difference is that \code{x} and \code{y} mappings are expected
#' to be given in \code{npc} graphic units, using pseudo-aesthetics. Their
#' intended use is to add annotations to a plot.
#'
#' @details These geoms are identical to 'ggplot2'
#'   \code{\link[ggplot2]{geom_text}} and \code{\link[ggplot2]{geom_label}}
#'   except that they interpret \code{npcx} and \code{npcy} positions in
#'   \code{npc} units. They translate \code{npcx} and \code{npcy} coordinates
#'   using a pseudo-aesthetic with a fixed scale, the translation is done
#'   separately for each plot panel. All aesthetics other than \emph{x} and
#'   \emph{y} and grouping work as in normal geoms. These include
#'   \code{linetype} and \code{angle} in \code{geom_label_npc()}.
#'
#' @inheritSection geom_text_s Plot boundaries and clipping
#'
#' @inheritSection geom_text_s Alignment
#'
#' @section Alignment: With textual positions and groups a shift is added to
#'   successive labels to avoid overlaps. The shift is based on grouping,
#'   however unused levels are not dropped. In plots with faceting, if not
#'   all groups appear in each panel, there will be blank spaces in between
#'   labels. To solve this pass numeric values for the npc coordinates of each
#'   label instead of character strings.
#'
#' @param mapping The aesthetic mapping, usually constructed with
#'   \code{\link[ggplot2]{aes}}. Only needs
#'   to be set at the layer level if you are overriding the plot defaults.
#' @param data A layer specific data set - only needed if you want to override
#'   the plot defaults.
#' @param stat The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer,
#'   as a string.
#' @param na.rm If \code{FALSE} (the default), removes missing values with a
#'   warning.  If \code{TRUE} silently removes missing values.
#' @param position Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a
#'   call to a position adjustment function.
#' @param ... other arguments passed on to \code{\link[ggplot2]{layer}}. This
#'   can include aesthetics whose values you want to set, not map. See
#'   \code{\link[ggplot2]{layer}} for more details.
#' @param parse If TRUE, the labels will be parsed into expressions and
#'   displayed as described in \code{?plotmath}.
#' @param show.legend logical. Should this layer be included in the legends?
#'   \code{NA}, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. \code{FALSE}
#'   never includes, and \code{TRUE} always includes.
#' @param inherit.aes If \code{FALSE}, overrides the default aesthetics, rather
#'   than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that
#'   define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the
#'   default plot specification, e.g. \code{\link[ggplot2]{borders}}.
#' @param nudge_x,nudge_y Horizontal and vertical adjustment to nudge labels by.
#'   Useful for offsetting text from points, particularly on discrete scales.
#' @param check_overlap If `TRUE`, text that overlaps previous text in the same
#'   layer will not be plotted.
#' @param size.unit How the `size` aesthetic is interpreted: as millimetres
#'   (`"mm"`, default), points (`"pt"`), centimetres (`"cm"`), inches (`"in"`),
#'   or picas (`"pc"`).
#'
#' @seealso \code{\link[ggplot2]{geom_text}} and
#'    \code{\link[ggplot2]{geom_label}} for additional details.
