Avoid applying alpha aesthetics to geom_text in ggplot2
I have the following diagram ggplot2
. I don't want transparency on value labels.
Code:
ggplot(test, aes(x = reorder(org, -as.numeric(level)), y = obsAvg, fill = level, alpha = round)) +
geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = "dodge") +
scale_fill_manual(values = c("#E69F00", "#56B4E9", "#009E73")) +
scale_alpha_manual(values = c(.5, .75, 1), guide = FALSE) +
labs(title = "Average Observation Score by Round", y = "", x = "", fill = "Group") +
theme_bw() +
geom_text(aes(label = round(obsAvg,1)), vjust = -.5, size = 4, fontface="bold", position = position_dodge(width = .9)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(0,4), expand = c(0,0)) +
theme(legend.position="bottom")
Data:
set.seed(1)
test <- data.frame(
org = rep(c("Mammals", "Cats", "Tigers", "Lions", "Cheetahs"), 3),
level = rep(c("Animals", "Family", rep("Species", 3)), 3),
group = rep("Cats",15),
round = rep(c("Round1", "Round2", "Round3"),5),
obsAvg = runif(15, 1, 4)
)
I've tried moving alpha = round
as an aesthetic geom_bar()
, but then I lose the trick over labels:
How can I reproduce the top diagram but not apply the transparency aesthetic to my labels?

I would move aes(alpha=)
to geom_bar
and then add aes(group=)
to geom_text
to restore the evasion.
ggplot(test, aes(x = reorder(org, -as.numeric(level)), y = obsAvg, fill = level)) +
geom_bar(aes(alpha=round), stat = "identity", position = "dodge") +
scale_fill_manual(values = c("#E69F00", "#56B4E9", "#009E73")) +
scale_alpha_manual(values = c(.5, .75, 1), guide = FALSE) +
labs(title = "Average Observation Score by Round", y = "", x = "", fill = "Group") +
theme_bw() +
geom_text(aes(label = round(obsAvg,1), group=round), vjust = -.5, size = 4, fontface="bold", position = position_dodge(width = .9)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(0,4), expand = c(0,0)) +
theme(legend.position="bottom")
This is a beautiful plot.
