Guide optimised for secondary axis text annotations

A wrapper around ggplot2::guide_axis() that defaults to using theme_sec_axis_text(). This guide is designed to strip away standard axis furniture (like lines and ticks) while preserving text, making it ideal for secondary axes used as margin labels.

Usage

guide_sec_axis_text(..., theme = theme_sec_axis_text())

Arguments

...

Additional arguments passed to ggplot2::guide_axis(), such as title, check.overlap, or angle.

theme

A theme object to style the guide. Defaults to theme_sec_axis_text(), which suppresses ticks and lines.

Value

A guide object to be used in a scale's guide argument or within sec_axis_text().

Examples

library(dplyr)

set_theme(
  ggrefine::theme_grey(
    panel_heights = rep(unit(50, "mm"), 100),
    panel_widths = rep(unit(75, "mm"), 100),
  )
)
