Usage

ggtext(
  data,
  x = NULL,
  y = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  color = "black",
  palette = NULL,
  size = 11,
  face = "plain",
  family = "",
  show.legend = NA,
  label.select = NULL,
  repel = FALSE,
  label.rectangle = FALSE,
  parse = FALSE,
  grouping.vars = NULL,
  position = "identity",
  ggp = NULL,
  ggtheme = theme_pubr(),
  ...
)

Arguments

data

a data frame

x, y

x and y variables for drawing.

label

the name of the column containing point labels. Can be also a character vector with length = nrow(data).

color

text font color.

palette

the color palette to be used for coloring or filling by groups. Allowed values include "grey" for grey color palettes; brewer palettes e.g. "RdBu", "Blues", ...; or custom color palette e.g. c("blue", "red"); and scientific journal palettes from ggsci R package, e.g.: "npg", "aaas", "lancet", "jco", "ucscgb", "uchicago", "simpsons" and "rickandmorty".

size

text font size.

face

text font style. Allowed values are one of c("plain", "bold", "italic", "bold.italic").

family

character vector specifying font family.

show.legend

logical. Should text be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes.

label.select

can be of two formats:

  • a character vector specifying some labels to show.

  • a list containing one or the combination of the following components:

    • top.up and top.down: to display the labels of the top up/down points. For example, label.select = list(top.up = 10, top.down = 4).

    • criteria: to filter, for example, by x and y variabes values, use this: label.select = list(criteria = "`y` > 2 & `y` < 5 & `x` %in% c('A', 'B')").

repel

a logical value, whether to use ggrepel to avoid overplotting text labels or not.

label.rectangle

logical value. If TRUE, add rectangle underneath the text, making it easier to read.

parse

If TRUE, the labels will be parsed into expressions and displayed as described in ?plotmath.

grouping.vars

grouping variables to sort the data by, when the user wants to display the top n up/down labels.

position

Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.

ggp

a ggplot. If not NULL, points are added to an existing plot.

ggtheme

function, ggplot2 theme name. Default value is theme_pubr(). Allowed values include ggplot2 official themes: theme_gray(), theme_bw(), theme_minimal(), theme_classic(), theme_void(), ....

...

other arguments to be passed to ggpar.

Details

The plot can be easily customized using the function ggpar(). Read ?ggpar for changing:

  • main title and axis labels: main, xlab, ylab

  • axis limits: xlim, ylim (e.g.: ylim = c(0, 30))

  • axis scales: xscale, yscale (e.g.: yscale = "log2")

  • color palettes: palette = "Dark2" or palette = c("gray", "blue", "red")

  • legend title, labels and position: legend = "right"

Examples

# Load data
data("mtcars")
df <- mtcars
df$cyl <- as.factor(df$cyl)
df$name <- rownames(df)
head(df[, c("wt", "mpg", "cyl")], 3)

# Textual annotation
# +++++++++++++++++
ggtext(df, x = "wt", y = "mpg",
   color = "cyl", palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"),
   label = "name", repel = TRUE)

# Add rectangle around label
ggtext(df, x = "wt", y = "mpg",
   color = "cyl", palette = c("#00AFBB", "#E7B800", "#FC4E07"),
   label = "name", repel = TRUE,  label.rectangle = TRUE)
