geotext: Plots text on a drawing defined by geoplot.

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

View source: R/geotext.R

Description

The function plots a text in each of the points defined by lat,lon. (or x,y) The value plotted at each point is defined by the numeric vector or text vector z. Simular to text but allows lat and lon and a choice of digits used.

Usage

geotext(lat, lon=0, z, cex=0.7, adj=0.5, col=1, digits=0, pretext="",
        lwd=0, aftertext="", outside=F, angle=0, jitter=NULL,csi=NULL)

Arguments

lat,lon

Latitude and longitude of data ( or x and y coordinates), negative for southern latitudes and western longitudes. May be supplied as two vectors or as a list lat (or x) including vectors lat\$lat and lat\$lon (x\$x and x\$y if projection = none).

z

Vector with values that will be plotted at datapoints. Has to be of the same length as lat. If z is of mode character it is written directly on the screen.

cex

Relative size of characters (see the help on the parameter cex). The size of plotted characeters is cex time the parameter csi that can be seen by par()\$csi. In earlier versions of geoplot the parameter csi was set but csi is a parameter that can not be set in R.

adj

Location of the text relative to the point, 0 means text right of point, 0.5 text centered at point and 1 text left of point. Default value is 0.5.

col

Color number used. Default value is 1.

digits

Number of digits used.

pretext

Text put in front of all the text. Default value is nothing.

lwd

Linewidth used.

aftertext

Text put after all the text. Default value is nothing.

outside

If outside is F no text is plotted outside the range defined by xlim,ylim. Else it is done. Default value is F.

angle

angle of text in degrees, default is 0.

jitter

see jitter in geoplot.

csi

Size of character. This parameter can not be set in R but for compatibility with old Splus scripts the parameter cex is readjusted by cex = cex*csi/0.12. Use of this parameter is not recommended. Default value is NULL i.e not used.

Value

No values returned.
