create_meme(template, upper = NULL, lower = NULL, 
            username = NULL, password = NULL, site = NULL, 
            font = NULL, language = NULL, ...)

`template`	Either an object of class “meme_template” (returned by `get_templates`) or the URL of an image to caption. If the latter, `site` is set to “memecaptain”.
`upper`	The text to display at the top of the meme image.
`lower`	The text to display at the bottom of the meme image.
`username`	A username for the relevant meme site. Note: For memegenerator, username and password are passed as plain text, so use at your own risk.
`password`	A password for the relevant meme site. Note: For memegenerator, username and password are passed as plain text, so use at your own risk.
`site`	The site used to generate the meme. This is set by default if `template` is an object of class “meme_template”. One of “imgflip”, “memegenerator”, and “memecaptain”.
`font`	If `site="imgflip"`, optionally one of “impact” (the default) or “arial”. Otherwise `NULL`.
`language`	If `site="memegenerator"`, optionally one of “en” (English), “es” (Spanish), “ru” (Russia), or “–” (other). Otherwise `NULL` (the default).
`...`	Additional arguments to `curlPerform`.

This function creates a meme image from a template image and specified text. If template is an object of class “meme_template”, create_meme automatically determines the site to use for generating the meme. If template is simply an arbitrary image URL (specified as a character string), the meme image is generated using memecaptain. The resulting list of objects are of class “meme”, which has an associated S3 print method that will display the template image as a margin-free JPEG plot in the current graphics device.

To create images with either imgflip or memegenerator, a username and password must be supplied. Important note: For memegenerator, username and password are passed as plain text, so use at your own risk.

An object of class “meme”, which includes a binary representation of the resulting meme image.
