Partial rectangle theme element

The element_part_rect() function draws sides of a rectangle as theme elements. It can substitute element_rect() theme elements.

element_part_rect(
  side = "tlbr",
  fill = NULL,
  colour = NULL,
  linewidth = NULL,
  linetype = NULL,
  color = NULL,
  inherit.blank = FALSE
)

Arguments

side

A character of length one containing any of "t", "l", "b", "r". If these letters are present it will draw an edge at the top (t), left (l), bottom (b) or right (r) respectively. Including all or none of these letters will default to normal element_rect().

fill

Fill colour.

colour, color

Line/border colour. Color is an alias for colour.

linewidth

Line/border size in mm.

linetype

Line type. An integer (0:8), a name (blank, solid, dashed, dotted, dotdash, longdash, twodash), or a string with an even number (up to eight) of hexadecimal digits which give the lengths in consecutive positions in the string.

inherit.blank

Should this element inherit the existence of an element_blank among its parents? If TRUE the existence of a blank element among its parents will cause this element to be blank as well. If FALSE any blank parent element will be ignored when calculating final element state.

Value

An S3 object of class element_part_rect.
