Sorry for the giant data frame code block above. It's what I'm working with. Please copy paste it into R Studio to get things started.

Now that that's done I'm trying to get the ggrepel package to label the red lines as shown below. I've been spinning the knobs (arguments) in ggrepel but can't get anything pretty. I want the labels to get out of the way, and get to the right of the graph, in the same order the lines are ranked. Can we make the labels red as well?

What ggrepel arguments will get me there? Or is there a better way to do this with normal ggplot?

ggplot(df, aes(Date, Value, group = Fruit)) + 
  geom_line(aes(color = Violation)) +
  scale_color_manual(values = c("grey30", "red")) + 
  scale_x_date(breaks = "month", date_labels = "%b") +
  scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 0.7, by = 0.05)) + 
  coord_cartesian(ylim = c(-0.25, 0.7)) +
  labs(x = NULL, y = "Value\n") +
  theme_minimal() + 
  theme(panel.grid = element_blank(),
        axis.ticks.x = element_line(),
        #axis.line.x = element_blank(),
        axis.line.y = element_line(), 
        axis.ticks.y = element_line()) + 
  geom_text_repel(data = df %>% filter(Violation == TRUE),
                  aes(label = label), 
                  direction = "y", 
                  hjust = 0, 
                  segment.size = 0.2,
                  nudge_x = 1,
                  na.rm = TRUE)

ggrepel labels


Solution

  • ggplot(df, aes(Date, Value, group = Fruit)) + 
      geom_line(aes(color = Violation)) +
      scale_color_manual(values = c("grey30", "red")) + 
      scale_x_date(breaks = "month", date_labels = "%b") +
      scale_y_continuous(breaks = seq(0, 0.7, by = 0.05)) + 
      coord_cartesian(ylim = c(-0.25, 0.7), clip = "off") +
      labs(x = NULL, y = "Value\n") +
      theme_minimal() + 
      theme(panel.grid = element_blank(),
            axis.ticks.x = element_line(),
            #axis.line.x = element_blank(),
            axis.line.y = element_line(), 
            axis.ticks.y = element_line(), 
            legend.position = c(0.8, 0.8),
            plot.margin = unit(c(0.1, 5, 0.1, 0.1), "cm")) + 
      geom_text_repel(data = df %>% filter(Violation == TRUE),
