Different parameters for the text size #44

Open rnuske opened 5 years ago

rnuske commented 5 years ago

For putting multiple maps on one page with gridExtra::arrangeGrob() I had to fiddle with all units and the text sizes.

The parameter controlling the size of the text is named differently and has different effects at least across annotation_scale(..., text_cex=0.5) and annotation_north_arrow(..., style=north_arrow_orienteering(text_size=4).

Would it be possible to harmonize the way the text size works?

Yes, but it would require some refactoring. The ggspatial package will be getting some updates in the next two months, and I'll keep this issue open as a reminder to make this a thing.

As a side note, have you considered using the patchwork package to combine plots?

Haven't looked at patchwork yet. Will give a try tonight. Thanks.

Just working on this now! As you suggested, annotation_scale(..., text_cex=0.5) should definitely be refactored to use font_size, and the text_cex should be deprecated.
