Great, thanks Amelia. Here is what I would do:
require(png)
require(grid)
## select the PNG file
z <- readPNG(file.choose())
## Function to draw your statement
copyright.draw <- function(label, image, x, y, size, ...) {
lab <- textGrob(label = label,
x = unit(x, "npc"), y = unit(y, "npc"),
just = c("left", "centre"), gp = gpar(...))
logo <- rasterGrob(image = image,
x = unit(x, "npc") + unit(1, "grobwidth", lab), y = unit(y, "npc"),
width = unit(size, "cm"), height = unit(size, "cm"),
just = c("left", "centre"), gp = gpar(...))
grid.draw(lab)
grid.draw(logo)
}
plot(1:10, 1:10)
copyright.draw("Copyright statement ", z, .02, .04, .5, fontsize = 8)
Seems reasonably aesthetically pleasing to me (don't forget the space
after your copyright statement if you want there to be a space there
before the CC logo).
I kind like Baptiste's idea to use the SVG file directly, but you
asked for PNG. Also, the function is not strictly necessary, what is
nice about it is that it handles positioning the logo based on the
text. You don't want to be in a position where you are trying to
manually line the two up. You can pass additional arguments as you
like to gpar (though note it will affect botht he text and raster
grobs.
Cheers,
Josh
