A description of a piece of text to draw, at a particular location and a particular size (and it might be part of a larger picture).
string:Object of class "character"
x:Object of class "numeric"
y:Object of class "numeric"
w:Object of class "numeric"
angle:Object of class "numeric"
rgb:Object of class "character"
that specifies the fill colour for the polygon.
lwd:Object of class "numeric"
that specifies the line width of the polygon (only
used if the character outline is stroked).
Class "PictureOp", directly.
signature(object = "PictureText"):
convert to a grid grob (for one-off drawing). In addition to a
use.gc argument, there is a fillText argument to
specify whether to stroke or fill text paths. Filling text paths
is not necessarily a good idea because some characters have holes
(e.g., the letter ‘o’). The bgText argument can be
used to specify a colour to use to fill these holes; this
argument can actually be a named vector of colours so that, e.g.,
the hole in an ‘o’ is filled white, but the dot on an
‘i’ is filled black. Finally, there is a
sizeByWidth argument which controls whether text is sized
based on the traced width or based on the traced height of the
original text.
signature(object = "PictureText"):
convert to a grid grob (for drawing as a data symbol).
Currently draws nothing.
signature(object = "PictureText"):
draws a traced piece of text as part of the current plot.
