Overview

About

Maintained by David WilkinsCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

A 'ggplot2' extension to fit text into a box by growing, shrinking or wrapping the text.

Changes in 0.10.4

Minor changes

Remove dead code: the unexported, unreachable geom_grow_text() and geom_shrink_text() deprecation stubs, and an unused flip data column set by GeomFitText$setup_data() (#59).
Expand test coverage (#63).
Correct documentation errors (#49, #57).
Add a vignette example for outside (#65).

Bug fixes

geom_bar_text() now accepts a position given as a Position object rather than a string, e.g. position_dodge(width = 0.9) (#44).
geom_bar_text() now labels implied-flip horizontal bars with the bar value rather than the category index when no label aesthetic is mapped (#45).

Show all changes in 0.10.4Hide the rest of the changes in 0.10.4

Reflowed text now stays within the box width (#47).
geom_fit_text() now drops both empty-string and NA labels through explicit filtering (#48).
geom_bar_text() now ignores NA text colours when deciding whether to enable contrast, rather than erroring (#56).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("ggfittext", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("wilkox/ggfittext")

Development version from wilkox/ggfittext. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-ggfittext

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-ggfittext

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-ggfittext

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
