axis_text: Add labels to the axis labels

In dapperstats/bbplot: Extending Base R Plotting for bbs

Add labels to the axis labels

Description

A wrapper function for mtext with two changes.

1. The default for text and at is now NULL. If both are NULL, axTicks will be used to determine what values to include on the x (side = 1) or y (side = 2) axis. 2. If length(text) == 1 and at = NULL, then the appropriate side will find the central point of the axis to put the text (e.g., for an axis title).

Usage

axis_text(
  text = NULL,
  labels = FALSE,
  side = 3,
  line = 0,
  outer = FALSE,
  at = NULL,
  adj = NA,
  padj = NA,
  cex = NA,
  col = NA,
  font = NA,
  ...
)

Arguments

text	a character or expression vector specifying the text to be written. See mtext.
labels	Set to FALSE. See axis.
side	an integer specifying which side of the plot the axis is to be drawn on. The axis is placed as follows: 1=below, 2=left, 3=above and 4=right.
line	on which MARgin line, starting at 0 counting outwards.
outer	use outer margins if available.
at	The location of each string in user coordinates (i.e., the text). See mtext.
adj	adjustment for each string in reading direction. For strings parallel to the axes, adj = 0 means left or bottom alignment, and adj = 1 means right or top alignment. See mtext.
padj	adjustment for each string perpendicular to the reading direction (which is controlled by adj). See mtext.
cex	character expansion factor. Can be a vector.
col	color to use. Can be a vector. NA values (the default) means use par("col").
font	font for text. Can be a vector. NA values (the default) means use par("font").
...	Other graphical parameters that may apply to mtext.

Examples

## Not run: 
   blank(
     xlim = c(0,50),
     ylim = c(0,100),
     bty ="l"
   )
   
   axis_blank(1, at = seq(0,50,10))
   axis_text(side = 1)
   axis_blank(2, at = seq(0,100,20))
   axis_text(side = 2)
