generate_label_overlay: Generate Label Overlay

In rayshader: Create Maps and Visualize Data in 2D and 3D

Generate Label Overlay

Description

This uses the 'car::placeLabel()' function to generate labels for the given scene. Either use an 'sf' object or manually specify the x/y coordinates and label.

Usage

generate_label_overlay(
  labels,
  extent,
  x = NULL,
  y = NULL,
  heightmap = NULL,
  width = NA,
  height = NA,
  text_size = 1,
  color = "black",
  font = 1,
  pch = 16,
  point_size = 1,
  point_color = NA,
  offset = c(0, 0),
  data_label_column = NULL,
  halo_color = NA,
  halo_expand = 0,
  halo_alpha = 1,
  halo_offset = c(0, 0),
  halo_blur = 1,
  seed = NA
)

Arguments

labels	A character vector of labels, or an 'sf' object with 'POINT' geometry and a column for labels.
extent	Either an object representing the spatial extent of the scene (either from the 'raster', 'terra', 'sf', or 'sp' packages), a length-4 numeric vector specifying 'c("xmin", "xmax","ymin","ymax")', or the spatial object (from the previously aforementioned packages) which will be automatically converted to an extent object.
x	Default 'NULL'. The x-coordinate, if 'labels' is not an 'sf' object.
y	Default 'NULL'. The y-coordinate, if 'labels' is not an 'sf' object.
heightmap	Default 'NULL'. The original height map. Pass this in to extract the dimensions of the resulting overlay automatically.
width	Default 'NA'. Width of the resulting overlay. Default the same dimensions as height map.
height	Default 'NA'. Width of the resulting overlay. Default the same dimensions as height map.
text_size	Default '1'. Text size.
color	Default 'black'. Color of the labels.
font	Default '1'. An integer which specifies which font to use for text. If possible, device drivers arrange so that 1 corresponds to plain text (the default), 2 to bold face, 3 to italic and 4 to bold italic.
pch	Default '20', solid. Point symbol. '0' = square, '1' = circle, '2' = triangle point up, '3' = plus, '4' = cross, '5' = diamond, '6' = triangle point down, '7' = square cross, '8' = star, '9' = diamond plus, '10' = circle plus, '11' = triangles up and down, '12' = square plus, '13' = circle cross, '14' = square and triangle down, '15' = filled square, '16' = filled circle, '17' = filled triangle point-up, '18' = filled diamond, '19' = solid circle, '20' = bullet (smaller circle), '21' = filled circle blue, '22' = filled square blue, '23' = filled diamond blue, '24' = filled triangle point-up blue, '25' = filled triangle point down blue
point_size	Default '0', no points. Point size.
point_color	Default 'NA'. Colors of the points. Unless otherwise specified, this defaults to 'color'.
offset	Default 'c(0,0)'. Horizontal and vertical offset to apply to the label, in units of 'geometry'.
data_label_column	Default 'NULL'. The column in the 'sf' object that contains the labels.
halo_color	Default 'NA', no halo. If a color is specified, the text label will be surrounded by a halo of this color.
halo_expand	Default '2'. Number of pixels to expand the halo.
halo_alpha	Default '1'. Transparency of the halo.
halo_offset	Default 'c(0,0)'. Horizontal and vertical offset to apply to the halo, in units of 'geometry'.
halo_blur	Default ‘1'. Amount of blur to apply to the halo. Values greater than '30' won’t result in further blurring.
seed	Default 'NA', no seed. Random seed for ensuring the consistent placement of labels around points.

Value

Semi-transparent overlay with labels.
