Arguments

north

north

type

compass type, one of: "arrow", "4star", "8star", "radar", "rose". The default is controlled by tm_layout (which uses "arrow" for the default style)

text.size

text.size

size

size

show.labels

show.labels

cardinal.directions

cardinal.directions

text.color

text.color

color.dark

color.dark

color.light

color.light

lwd

lwd

position

The position specification of the component: an object created with tm_pos_in() or tm_pos_out(). Or, as a shortcut, a vector of two values, specifying the x and y coordinates. The first is "left", "center" or "right" (or upper case, meaning tighter to the map frame), the second "top", "center" or "bottom". Numeric values are also supported, where 0, 0 means left bottom and 1, 1 right top. See also vignette about positioning. In case multiple components should be combined (stacked), use group_id and specify component in tm_comp_group().

group_id

Component group id name. All components (e.g. legends, titles, etc) with the same group_id will be grouped. The specifications of how they are placed (e.g. stacking, margins etc.) are determined in tm_comp_group() where its argument id should correspond to group_id.

bg

Show background?

bg.color

Background color

bg.alpha

Background transparency

stack

stack with other map components, either "vertical" or "horizontal".

just

just

frame

frame.color

frame color

frame.alpha

frame alpha transparancy

frame.lwd

frame line width

frame.r

Radius of the rounded frame corners. 0 means no rounding.

margins

margins

z

z index, e.g. the place of the component relative to the other componets
