| annotation_custom {ggplot2} | R Documentation |
This is a special geom intended for use as static annnotations that are the same in every panel. These anotations will not affect scales (i.e. the x and y axes will not grow to cover the range of the grob, and the grob will not be modified by any ggplot settings or mappings).
annotation_custom(grob, xmin = -Inf, xmax = Inf, ymin = -Inf, ymax = Inf)
grob |
grob to display |
xmin,xmax |
x location (in data coordinates) giving horizontal location of raster |
ymin,ymax |
y location (in data coordinates) giving vertical location of raster |
Most useful for adding tables, inset plots, and other grid-based decorations.
annotation_custom expects the grob to fill the entire viewport
defined by xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax. Grobs with a different (absolute) size
will be center-justified in that region.
Inf values can be used to fill the full plot panel (see examples).
# Dummy plot
