ch: text to be converted, usually just a single letter
fontfamily: R has a few default fonts that are always available, such as e.g. Helvetica, Arial, Courier New, and Garamond. Other fonts might be available depending on the platform used.
fontsize: by default 576. If the resulting string exceeds the boundary of the matrix returned, reduced font size
fontface: character value. Defaults to 'plain'. Other standard options are 'bold', 'italic', 'bold italic'. Some font families supports additional font faces.
dim: vector of length two specifying width and height (in pixels) of the temporary jpg file created for the letter. Defaults to 480 x 480 pixels.

three dimensional matrix of dimension 480 x 480 x 3 of the pixel values, black background and white letter
