How do I omit labels in the R treemap?

问题

I've been using the R treemap package and I have a treemap that's 2 levels deep. I want the second level labels to be printed but not the first.

Using the example in the man page:

tmPlot(GNI2010,
       index=c("continent", "iso3"),
       vSize="population",
       vColor="GNI",
       type="value")

I want to get rid of the continent labels, but retain the iso3 labels. I apologize in advance if it is in the documents but haven't found it.

回答1:

To remove the continent labels, you can post hoc edit the graph. The graph produces a grid object. The last two elements of this grid object seem to be the country labels. Hence you can remove them this way:

lapply(tail(grid.ls(print=FALSE)$name, 2), grid.remove)

Another option would consist in nullifying the size font the fonts you want to see disappear. For instance,

tmPlot(GNI2010,
       index=c("continent", "iso3"),
       vSize="population",
       vColor="GNI",
       type="value",
       fontsize.labels=c(0,10))

will only display the initial for the countries, not for the continents.
