Let's say I do the following:
plot(0,0,type="n",xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,10))
rect(4,5,5,6,border="black",col="white")
text(4.5,5.5,"species",cex=2)
I would like to be able to determine a rectangle size that will be able to
contain the text species. I'm working on a function using multiple lines and
boxes where text of varying length has to be written.
