Curved path label using geomtextpath using in R

Hello friends!! We’ll be learning how to create the curved path label in R using geomtextpath package to make visualization much more attractive. Easy and quick tutorial to follow.

I’ll be using the Pokemon dataset from Kaggle. I’ll be doing density plot using different variables.

Loading package

library(ggplot2)
library(patchwork)

Reading data

df <- read.csv("Pokemon.csv")

Creating Plots

#Plot1--
ggplot(df, aes(x=HP, fill=Legendary, label = Legendary)) +
geom_textdensity(size = 6, fontface = 2, hjust = 0.2, vjust = 0.3) +
geom_density(alpha=0.4) +
theme(legend.position = "none")

#Plot2----
ggplot(df, aes(x=HP, fill=Legendary, label = Legendary)) +
geom_textdensity(size = 6, fontface = 3, spacing =50,hjust = "ymax", vjust = -0.2,linecolor = "red4", linetype = 2, color = "red") +
theme(legend.position = "none")

#Plot3----
ggplot(df, aes(x=HP, fill=Legendary, label = Legendary)) +
geom_textdensity(size = 6, fontface = 2, hjust = 0.2, vjust = 0.3, linecolor = "red4", linetype = 2, color = "deepskyblue4") +
theme(legend.position = "none")
