ggrepel

We have hosted the application ggrepel in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about ggrepel:

ggrepel is an R package that provides “smart” repulsion for text and label geoms in ggplot2. When placing text labels on a plot (e.g. labeling points), the labels can often overlap; ggrepel ensures labels don’t overlap (or overlap less) by repelling labels / pushing them away, adding connecting lines or nudges, etc. It improves readability of plots especially when many labels are present.

Features:

• Automatic adjustment of label positions to avoid overlapping text labels in ggplot2 plots
• Support for point and segment geoms (so labels can be connected by lines when moved)
• Customizable parameters: force, direction, segment colour/style, maximum/minimum distance etcetera
• Works with many types of plot geoms: scatter, bar, line plots, map plots etc.
• Supports both plotting of labels inside or outside plot area, with trimming / clipping etc.
• Good default behaviour plus flexibility: users can tweak aesthetics to suit their data / presentation needs

Programming Language: R.
