How do I fix these labels at the end of line?

Time:10-05

I am using the ggrepel package to add labels to the end of lines in ggplot. I am having an issue where the labels are overlapping and adding more labels than needed. I adjusted my max.overlap value a few times and was still getting overlaps. My 2022 line has no label on it. Attached an image of what was going on, and here is the code to generate the line. Do I need to add some y-axis nudge?

        output$creditPlot <- renderPlot({
      ggplot(temp_df_long_credit_hours, aes(week, value, group = school_year, alpha = school_year))  
        geom_line(lwd = 1.5,
                  show.legend = F)  
        geom_label_repel(aes(label = school_year), 
                         nudge_x = 4, 
                         na.rm = T, 
                         max.overlaps = 0,
                         stat = "unique",
                         show.legend = F,
                         force_pull = 10)  
        geom_vline(xintercept = 0)
    })

Example of line and label output

CodePudding user response:

Here maybe one option by creating a separate helper dataframe for the labels. A bit of tinkering around with the geom_label arguments will allow fine tuning of the labels. Editing scale_x_continuous expand argument allows adjustment of the margin to the plot to give the labels a bit more space.

The reason you are not getting a label for 2022 seems to be related to NA values.

library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)

labs <- 
  temp_df_long_credit_hours |> 
  na.omit() |> 
  group_by(school_year) |> 
  filter(week == max(week))|>
  mutate(vjust = case_when(school_year == "fall_2022" ~ 0.9,
                           TRUE ~0.5))


ggplot(temp_df_long_credit_hours, aes(week, value, group = school_year, alpha = school_year))  
  geom_line(lwd = 1.5,
            show.legend = FALSE)  
  geom_label(data = labs, aes(label = school_year, x = week, y = value),
            hjust = -0.1, 
            vjust = labs$vjust,
