Animate.character: Animate Character

Description

Animate.character - Animate a character object. Typically this function is useful in conjunction with other Animate objects to create complex animations with accompanying text.

Usage

# S3 method for character
Animate(x, wc.time = TRUE, time.constant = 2,
  width = 65, coord = c(0, 0.5), just = c(0, 0.5), size = 5,
  color = "black", border.color = NA, ...)

Arguments

x

A character object.

wc.time

logical. If TRUE weights duration of frame by word count.

time.constant

A constant to divide the maximum word count by. Time is calculated by `round(exp(WORD COUNT/(max(WORD COUNT)/time.constant)))`. Therefore a larger constant will make the difference between the large and small word counts greater.

width

The width to break text at if type = "text".

coord

The x/y coordinate to plot the text..

just

The hjust and vjust values to use for the text.

size

The size to print the text. Can be a vector of length 1 or equal to the length of x.

color

The color to print the text. Can be a vector of length 1 or equal to the length of x.

border.color

The panel.border color (seetheme).

…

Other arguments passed to annotate.
