Render tick mark text for axes

geom_axis_text() renders tick mark text for specified axes among the row or column factors.

geom_axis_text(
  mapping = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  stat = "identity",
  position = "identity",
  subset = NULL,
  by = NULL,
  num = NULL,
  label_dodge = 0.15,
  ...,
  parse = FALSE,
  check_overlap = FALSE,
  na.rm = FALSE,
  show.legend = NA,
  inherit.aes = TRUE
)

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by `aes()` or `aes_()`. If specified and `inherit.aes = TRUE` (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply `mapping` if there is no plot mapping.
data	The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If `NULL`, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to `ggplot()`. A `data.frame`, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See `fortify()` for which variables will be created. A `function` will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a `data.frame`, and will be used as the layer data. A `function` can be created from a `formula` (e.g. `~ head(.x, 10)`).
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.
position	Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
subset	Indices or logical vector of rows or columns for which to render elements.
by	Intervals between elements or number of elements; specify only one.
num	Intervals between elements or number of elements; specify only one.
label_dodge	Numeric; the orthogonal distance of the text from the axis, as a proportion of the minimum of the plot width and height.
...	Additional arguments passed to `ggplot2::layer()`.
parse	If `TRUE`, the labels will be parsed into expressions and displayed as described in `?plotmath`.
check_overlap	If `TRUE`, text that overlaps previous text in the same layer will not be plotted. `check_overlap` happens at draw time and in the order of the data. Therefore data should be arranged by the label column before calling `geom_text()`. Note that this argument is not supported by `geom_label()`.
na.rm	Passed to `ggplot2::layer()`.
show.legend	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? `NA`, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. `FALSE` never includes, and `TRUE` always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.
inherit.aes	If `FALSE`, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. `borders()`.

Biplot layers

ggbiplot() uses ggplot2::fortify() internally to produce a single data frame with a .matrix column distinguishing the subjects ("rows") and variables ("cols"). The stat layers stat_rows() and stat_cols() simply filter the data frame to one of these two.

The geom layers geom_rows_*() and geom_cols_*() call the corresponding stat in order to render plot elements for the corresponding factor matrix. geom_dims_*() selects a default matrix based on common practice, e.g. points for rows and arrows for columns.

Aesthetics

geom_axis_text() understands the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):

x
y
alpha
angle
colour
family
fontface
hjust
lineheight
size
vjust
group
center (for un-scaling)
scale (for un-scaling)
