adds lines of text in an ellipsoid box to a plot

adds one or more lines of text, centered around "mid" in an ellipsoid box

textellipse(mid, radx, rady = radx*length(lab), lwd = 1,  
            shadow.size = 0.01, adj = c(0.5, 0.5), lab = "", 
            box.col = "white", lcol = "black", shadow.col = "grey", 
            angle = 0, dr = 0.01, ...)

Arguments

mid

midpoint (x,y) of the box.

radx

horizontal radius of the box.

rady

vertical radius of the box.

lwd

line width of line surrounding the box.

shadow.size

relative size of shadow.

adj

text adjustment.

lab

one label or a vector string of labels to be added in box.

box.col

fill color of the box.

lcol

line color surrounding box.

shadow.col

color of shadow.

angle

rotation angle, degrees.

dr

size of segments, in radians, to draw ellipse (decrease for smoother).

...
