coord_quickmap does not work with inset_element()

[richardvogg]

I really, really like the new inset_element() function in patchwork.

This is not a big issue, but I noticed that when I am using coord_quickmap() in a plot, inset_element() does not work.

Small example:

`library(ggplot2)

test <- ggplot()+borders(regions="france")+coord_quickmap() test + inset_element(test,0.1,0.1,0.5,0.5) `

Error in seq.default(design$t[i], design$b[i]) : 'from' must be a finite number

The same without coord_quickmap() works.

I seem to be having same issue with {sf}, reprex:

nc <- system.file("shape", package = "sf") %>%
  st_read("nc")

p <- ggplot(nc) + geom_sf()

p + inset_element(p, 0, 0, 0.5, 0.5)

Thanks for the great inset update @thomasp85. Its a great idea and will simplify insets maps greatly. Unfortunately I can confirm this doesn't work with an sf plot. I have my own code, but I have also tested @tomjemmett reprex above. Both give the same error #> Error in seq.default(design$t[i], design$b[i]): 'from' must be a finite number
