adds one or more lines of text, centered around "mid" in an hexagonal box.

texthexa(mid, radx, rady = radx*length(lab), lwd = 1, 
         shadow.size = 0.01, adj = c(0.5,0.5), 
         lab = "", box.col = "white", lcol = "black", 
         shadow.col = "grey", angle = 0, ...)

Arguments

• mid: midpoint (x,y) of the box.
• radx: horizontal radius of the box.
• rady: vertical radius of the box.
• lwd: line width of line surrounding the box.
• shadow.size: relative size of shadow.
• adj: text adjustment.
• lab: one label or a vector string of labels to be added in box.
• box.col: fill color of the box.
• lcol: line color surrounding box.
• shadow.col: color of shadow.
• angle: rotation angle, degrees.
• ...: other arguments passed to function textplain .
