stat_bracetext {ggbrace}

create text for curly braces as a layer in ggplot

Description

Imports: ggplot2

Usage

stat_bracetext(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  geom = "text",
  position = "identity",
  ...,
  rotate = 0,
  width = NULL,
  mid = NULL,
  outside = TRUE,
  distance = NULL,
  outerstart = NULL,
  textdistance = NULL,
  show.legend = FALSE,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping

Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.

data

The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options:

If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot().

A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify() for which variables will be created.

A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame, and will be used as the layer data. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)).

geom

The geometric object to use to display the data, either as a ggproto Geom subclass or as a string naming the geom stripped of the geom_ prefix (e.g. "point" rather than "geom_point")

position

Position adjustment, either as a string naming the adjustment (e.g. "jitter" to use position_jitter), or the result of a call to a position adjustment function. Use the latter if you need to change the settings of the adjustment.

...

Other arguments passed on to layer(). These are often aesthetics, used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like colour = "red" or size = 3. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.

rotate

number, defines where the brace is pointing to: 0=up, 90=right, 180=down, 270=left. When specified by user, will overwrite other directions the brace might have from x/y coordinates.

width

number, how wide should the braces be? If NULL (default), will be determined automatically based on the data.

mid

number, where the pointer is within the bracket space (between 0.25 and 0.75). If NULL (default), will be determined automatically based on the data.

outside

boolean, should the brace be outside of the data area or cover the data area?

distance

number, space between the brace and the nearest data point

outerstart

number, overwrites distance and provides one coordinate for all braces

textdistance

number, distance of the label to the brace pointer

show.legend

logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.

inherit.aes

If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders().

Value

ggplot2 layer object (geom_path) that can directly be added to a ggplot2 object. If a label was provided, another layer is added.
