• ggrepel: Avoid overlapping of text labels

• In the following section, I show you 4 simple steps to follow if you want to generate a word cloud with R. STEP 1: Retrieving the data and uploading the packages To generate word clouds, you need to download the wordcloud package in R as well as the RcolorBrewer package for the colours.
• R answers related to “ggplot2 font times new roman” automatically wrap r text label ggplot; change the font of the title in a plot in r; ggplot - blank title of axis; ggplot increase label font size; ggplot2 geomtext reorder; text in ggplot2; turn legend off ggplot2.
• 12pt Black Times New Roman. Which isn't really the most beautiful or suitable font in the world because it was really designed for reading off paper, not computer screens. So, you want to change it to something more readable and nicer looking. Have a look in your fonts folder (on a PC it's C: windows fonts). You should have a couple of dozen.

The typeface referred to as Times Old Roman was the typeface used by the British newspaper, The Times, in the early 1900s. Times New Roman is the face designed by Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent in 1931 after Morison, a typographic consultant to The Times (and for Monotype), criticized the typography and the printing of the newspaper.

This article describes how to add a text annotation to a plot generated using ggplot2 package.

The functions below can be used :

• geom_text(): adds text directly to the plot
• geom_label(): draws a rectangle underneath the text, making it easier to read.
• annotate(): useful for adding small text annotations at a particular location on the plot
• annotation_custom(): Adds static annotations that are the same in every panel

It’s also possible to use the R package ggrepel, which is an extension and provides geom for ggplot2 to repel overlapping text labels away from each other.

We’ll start by describing how to use ggplot2 official functions for adding text annotations. In the last sections, examples using ggrepel extensions are provided.

We’ll use a subset of mtcars data. The function sample() can be used to randomly extract 10 rows:

• Change font family

• geom_label() works like geom_text() but draws a rounded rectangle underneath each label. This is useful when you want to label plots that are dense with data.

Others useful arguments for geom_text() and geom_label() are:

• nudge_x and nudge_y: let you offset labels from their corresponding points. The function position_nudge() can be also used.
• check_overlap = TRUE: for avoiding overplotting of labels
• hjust and vjust can now be character vectors (ggplot2 v >= 2.0.0): “left”, “center”, “right”, “bottom”, “middle”, “top”. New options include “inward” and “outward” which align text towards and away from the center of the plot respectively.

It’s possible to change the appearance of the texts using aesthetics (color, size,…) :

The functions geom_text() and annotate() can be used :

The functions annotation_custom() and textGrob() are used to add static annotations which are the same in every panel.The grid package is required :

Facet : In the plot below, the annotation is at the same place (in each facet) even if the axis scales vary.

There are two important functions in ggrepel R packages:

• geom_label_repel()
• geom_text_repel()

Scatter plots with text annotations

We start by creating a simple scatter plot using a subset of the mtcars data set containing 15 rows.

1. Prepare some data:

2. Create a scatter plot:

3. Add text labels:

This analysis has been performed using R software (ver. 3.2.4) and ggplot2 (ver. )
