Note that the width and height of a text element are 0 so stacking and dodging text will not work by default and axis limits are not automatically expanded to include all text.
Example of geom_label_repel. Change geom_texts default a legend to label string itself. Ggrepel provides geoms for ggplot2 to repel overlapping text labels. Hide some of the labels.
The most common auxiliary aesthetic properties that we use for geom_label are properties for text alignment horizontal and vertical alignment. This is again because geom_label_repel looks for the aes layer globally in the ggplot function. You notice that we have a weird a in the legend and also the text is colored.
The example is shown in the following plot. Geom_text understands the following aesthetics required aesthetics are in bold. Align labels on the left or right edge.
Countries. Minimal code example. See the package examples for more use cases.
Limit labels to a specific area. P Warning. Geom_label_repel is based on geom_label.
Geom_text_repel adds text directly to the plot. The position coordinates of labels are marked by points. Examples geom_nodetext_repel example if require network require sna n.
