Geom.label

Label positions on the plot frame.

This geometry attemps to optimize label positioning so that labels do not overlap, and hides any that would overlap.

Aesthetics

• x: X-axis position.

• y: Y-axis position.

• label: Text to render.

Arguments

• position: One of :dynamic, :left, :right, :above, :below, :centered. If :dynamic is used, label positions will be adjusted to avoid overaps. Otherwise, labels will be statically positioned left, right, above, below, or centered relative to the point.

• hide_overlaps: If true, and dynamic positioning is used, labels that would otherwise overlap another label or be drawn outside the plot panel are hidden. (default: true)

Examples

plot(dataset("ggplot2", "mpg"), x="Cty", y="Hwy", label="Model", Geom.point, Geom.label)

plot(dataset("MASS", "mammals"), x="Body", y="Brain", label=1,
     Scale.x_log10, Scale.y_log10, Geom.point, Geom.label)

plot(dataset("MASS", "mammals"), x="Body", y="Brain", label=1,
     Scale.x_log10, Scale.y_log10, Geom.label(position=:centered))
