library("survminer")

This vignette covers changes between versions 0.2.4 and 0.2.5 for additional texts and fonts customization enabled for subtitles and captions.

Survival plot

Basic

Compare the basic plot

library("survival")
fit<- survfit(Surv(time, status) ~ sex, data = lung)

# Drawing survival curves
ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung)

Customized

with the plot where every possible text on a plot is specified

ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung,
   title = "Survival curves", subtitle = "Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates",
   caption = "created with survminer",
   font.title = c(16, "bold", "darkblue"),
   font.subtitle = c(15, "bold.italic", "purple"),
   font.caption = c(14, "plain", "orange"),
   font.x = c(14, "bold.italic", "red"),
   font.y = c(14, "bold.italic", "darkred"),
   font.tickslab = c(12, "plain", "darkgreen"))

Risk table

Now allow risk.table to be displayed.

Basic

Please compare basic plot with a risk table

ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung, risk.table = TRUE)

Customized

with the plot where every possible text on a plot and table is specified

ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung, 
   title = "Survival curves", subtitle = "Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates",
   caption = "created with survminer",
   font.title = c(16, "bold", "darkblue"),
   font.subtitle = c(15, "bold.italic", "purple"),
   font.caption = c(14, "plain", "orange"),
   font.x = c(14, "bold.italic", "red"),
   font.y = c(14, "bold.italic", "darkred"),
   font.tickslab = c(12, "plain", "darkgreen"),
   ########## risk table #########,
   risk.table = TRUE,
   risk.table.title = "Note the risk set sizes",
   risk.table.subtitle = "and remember about censoring.",
   risk.table.caption = "source code: website.com",
   risk.table.height = 0.45)

ncens plot

Finally, allow ncens.plot to be displayed.

Basic

Please compare basic plot with a risk table and a ncens plot

ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung, risk.table = TRUE, ncensor.plot = TRUE)

Customized

with the full customization

ggsurvplot(fit, data = lung,
   title = "Survival curves", subtitle = "Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates",
   caption = "created with survminer",
   font.title = c(16, "bold", "darkblue"),
   font.subtitle = c(15, "bold.italic", "purple"),
   font.caption = c(14, "plain", "orange"),
   font.x = c(14, "bold.italic", "red"),
   font.y = c(14, "bold.italic", "darkred"),
   font.tickslab = c(12, "plain", "darkgreen"),
   ########## risk table #########,
   risk.table = TRUE,
   risk.table.title = "Note the risk set sizes",
   risk.table.subtitle = "and remember about censoring.",
   risk.table.caption = "source code: website.com",
   risk.table.height = 0.35,
   ncensor.plot = TRUE,
   ncensor.plot.title = "Number of censorings", 
   ncensor.plot.subtitle = "over the time.",
   ncensor.plot.caption = "data available at data.com",
   ncensor.plot.height = 0.35)
