Get Rid of Borders of ggplot2 Text Label in R (Example Code)
In this R programming tutorial you’ll learn how to get rid of ggplot2 text annotation borders.
Preparing the Example
data(iris) # Load example data to R head(iris) # Head of example data # Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species # 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa # 2 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa # 3 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa # 4 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa # 5 5.0 3.6 1.4 0.2 setosa # 6 5.4 3.9 1.7 0.4 setosa |
install.packages("ggplot2") # Install ggplot2 package library("ggplot2") # Load ggplot2 package |
my_plot <- ggplot(iris, # Create ggplot2 line plot aes(x = Petal.Width, y = Petal.Length)) + geom_line() my_plot |
my_plot + # Annotate text using geom_label function geom_label(aes(x = 1, y = 2, label = "Some Text"), col = "red", size = 6) |
Example: Set Background Color for Text Label in ggplot2 Plot
my_plot + # Change color of text background geom_label(aes(x = 1, y = 2, label = "Some Text"), col = "red", size = 6, label.size = NA) |
