space: a character to be added to negative numbers (defaults to a UTF-8 figure space)
encoding: type of encoding (defaults to UTF-8)
...: parameters passed to signs:signs

a vector of numbers converted to characters

Examples

library(ggplot2)
d <- data.frame(x = -4:0, y = -4:0)
# In these 2 plots, Compare the centering of the negative numbers on the x-axis
ggplot(d, aes(x,y))

ggplot(d, aes(x,y)) +
  scale_x_continuous(labels = signs_centered)
