# ggtikz

[![CRAN status](https://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/ggtikz)](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=ggtikz)
[![codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/osthomas/ggtikz/branch/main/graph/badge.svg?token=0LPNGPFO5Z)](https://app.codecov.io/gh/osthomas/ggtikz)
[![R-CMD-check](https://github.com/osthomas/ggtikz/workflows/R-CMD-check/badge.svg)](https://github.com/osthomas/ggtikz/actions)

ggtikz allows you to annotate plots created using
[ggplot2](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/)
with arbitrary TikZ code when rendering
them with the [tikzDevice](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=tikzDevice).
The annotations can be made using data coordinates, or with coordinates relative
to a specified panel or the whole plot.

Plots with multiple panels (via `facet_grid()` or `facet_wrap()`) are supported.

For a few examples, see the [examples vignette](https://github.com/osthomas/ggtikz/blob/devel/doc/examples.pdf).

## Installation

You can install the latest ggtikz release from CRAN with:

``` {r, eval = FALSE}
install.packages("ggtikz")
```

Or get the development version from GitHub:

``` {r, eval = FALSE}
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("osthomas/ggtikz", ref = "devel")
```

## Basic Usage

1. Create a ggplot.
2. Add annotations with `ggtikz()`.

```{r basic-usage}
library(ggplot2)
library(ggtikz)

p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(disp, mpg)) + geom_point() # 1.
## tikz("plot.tikz")
ggtikz(p,
"\\fill[red] (0.5,0.5) circle (5mm);",
xy = "panel", panelx = 1, panely = 1)
## dev.off()
## Render with LaTeX ...
```

## Advanced Usage

1. Create a ggplot.
2. Create a ggtikz canvas from the plot with `ggtikzCanvas()`.
3. Create ggtikz annotations with `ggtikzAnnotation()`.
4. Add the annotations to the canvas.
5. Draw the plot and the annotations using tikzDevice.

```{r advanced-usage}
library(ggplot2)
library(ggtikz)

p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(disp, mpg)) + geom_point() # 1.
canvas <- ggtikzCanvas(p) # 2.
annot1 <- ggtikzAnnotation( # 3.
"
\\draw (0,0) -- (1,1);
\\draw (0,1) -- (1,0);
\\fill[red] (0.5,0.5) circle (5mm);
",
xy = "panel", panelx = 1, panely = 1
)
annot2 <- ggtikzAnnotation( # 3.
"\\draw[<-] (400,20) -- ++(0,3) node[at end, anchor=south] {(400,20)};",
xy = "data", panelx = 1, panely = 1
)

## tikz("plot.tikz")
p # 4. + 5.
canvas + annot1 + annot2
## dev.off()
## Render with LaTeX ...

```
