ternary_labels: Non-Overlapping Text Labels

In isopleuros: Ternary Plots

Non-Overlapping Text Labels

Description

Optimize the location of text labels to minimize overplotting text.

Usage

ternary_labels(x, y, z, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'numeric,numeric,numeric'
ternary_labels(
  x,
  y,
  z,
  center = FALSE,
  scale = FALSE,
  labels = seq_along(x),
  type = c("text", "shadow"),
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY,missing,missing'
ternary_labels(x, center = FALSE, scale = FALSE, labels = seq_along(x$x), ...)

Arguments

x, y, z	A numeric vector giving the x, y and z ternary coordinates of a set of points. If y and z are missing, an attempt is made to interpret x in a suitable way (see grDevices::xyz.coords()).
...	Further graphical parameters (see graphics::par()) may also be supplied as arguments, particularly, character expansion, cex and color, col.
center	A logical scalar specifying wether the data should be centered, or a numeric vector giving the center.
scale	A logical scalar specifying wether the data should be scaled, or a numeric vector giving the scale factor.
labels	A character vector or expression specifying the text to be written.
type	A character string specifying the shape of the field. It must be one of "text" or "shadow". Any unambiguous substring can be given.

Value

ternary_labels() is called it for its side-effects.

Examples

## Compositional data
coda <- data.frame(
  X = c(41.0, 40, 39.0),
  Y = c(19.5, 20, 20.5),
  Z = c(39.5, 40, 40.5)
)

## Add text
ternary_plot(NULL, panel.first = ternary_grid())
ternary_points(coda)
ternary_labels(coda, labels = c("A", "B", "C"))
