Arguments

breaks

breaks

width

width of the scale bar. Units are number of text line heights, which is similar to the number of characters.

text.size

text size

text.color

text.color

color.dark

color.dark

color.light

color.light

lwd

linewidth

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

size

Deprecated (use text.size instead)

stack

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

frame

frame should a frame be drawn?

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
