I am trying to label points in ggplot
using geom_text
. I would like to use R mathematical notation for the labelling. For example, a point at the x-coordinate 0.5 should have the label 1/2=0.5, where 1/2 is written as a fraction. I have been trying this code:
ggplot(data=NULL) +
geom_point(aes(x=0.5, y=0)) +
geom_text(aes(x=0.5, y=-0.1,
label = paste("frac(1,2)"," = ", 1/2)), parse=TRUE) +
xlim(-1,1) +
ylim(-1, 1)
However, the order of the label is messed up, as the picture below shows:
Instead of 1/2=0.5, I receive =(1/2,0.5). How can I obtain the correct order when using frac()
in my label text?
Place label
outside aes
and use double ==
, like it is said in help("plotmath")
.
ggplot(data=NULL) +
geom_point(aes(x=0.5, y=0)) +
geom_text(aes(x=0.5, y=-0.1),
label = paste("frac(1, 2) == ", 1/2), parse=TRUE) +
xlim(-1,1) +
ylim(-1, 1)
