使用ggrepel将均值显示为文本标签。

Question

我正在创建一个图，我想在其中显示平均值。我成功地同时显示了平均值及其对应的值，但是我发现图中的平均值太混乱了，所以我想使用ggrepel::geom_label_repel以文本标签的形式显示方式，而文本标签离数据点有点远。我尝试了一些不起作用的东西，如果有人能帮我找到我想要的结果，我会很感激。谢谢。

错误位于ggrepel::geom_label_repel()中的行ggrepel::geom_label_repel()中。

您可以尝试以下操作:首先创建一个数据集，其中包含变量Species的每个Sepal.Length的平均值。

mean_dat <- aggregate(data = iris[, c(1, 5)], . ~Species, FUN = mean)
names(mean_dat) <- c("Species", "mean_label") # it is not necessary to rename the columns but it might avoid confusion
mean_dat
#     Species mean_label
#1     setosa      5.006
#2 versicolor      5.936
#3  virginica      6.588

我们将使用此数据集中的列mean_label作为geom_label_repel(..., mapping = aes(label = mean_label))中的label参数，因此需要将mean_dat作为data参数传递给geom_label_repel。

plot +
 stat_summary(
  fun.y = mean,
   geom = "point",
   colour = "darkred",
   size = 5
 ) +
 ggrepel::geom_label_repel(
  data = mean_dat,
  mapping = aes(label = mean_label),
  fontface = 'bold',
  color = 'black',
 #inherit.aes = FALSE, #would result in "error: geom_label_repel requires the following missing aesthetics: x, y"
  max.iter = 3e2,
  box.padding = 0.35,
  point.padding = 0.5,
  segment.color = 'grey50',
  force = 2
 )
