Description

add_labs takes a ggplot object as input and adds to it user-supplied x, y labels, plot title, subtitle and caption. If user doesn't provide values to these parameters, it'll just use the values from the input plot without making changes.

Usage

add_labs(p, xlab, ylab, title, subtitle, caption)

Arguments

p	A ggplot object.
xlab	String, the x-axis label.
ylab	String, the y-axis label.
title	String, title of the plot. You should use the title to concisely state the main insight the plot reveals. Avoid using generic statement as plot title. For example, "Income vs. Employment Length" is a bad title because it just re-state what the y and x axes are.
subtitle	String, subtitle of the plot. You can use the subtitle to explain the details of the insight. You can even write one or more short paragraphs if you have to.
caption	String, caption of the plot. You can put anything else useful in caption. For example, data source, method referece, url and etc.
