Titles and Annotations with ggplot

I'm sure that we all agree that the best way to do data visualization is to use R programming, in particular, the ggplot2 package. To become an advanced ggplot user, you need to start controlling things like the titles, axis characteristics and annotation in your plot. This video will walk you through some excellent examples of how to do just that.

You were able to address in just 8 minutes ggplot topics that took Wickham several chapters. Great job.

I went through all your videos and practiced all the codes in two weeks! amazing stuff. I have moved from Office to R. thanks a lot.

Thank you Dr. Greg for your amazing tutorials. I'm using R in almost every thing, thanks to you.
Your enthusiasm and clear explanation encouraged me to proceed in learning R.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. 😊😊😊😊😊

Great video Greg, I learnt a lot from it. One thing I had to do was add lineheight = 0.5 as an argument into the annotation, otherwise there was too much space between the lines. Must be a localised setting on my pc as I didn't see anyone else mention it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge - your channel is gold 🙂

sir you are the best teacher for R, I can only wish that you would grant us more lessons!!

Great video. With legend position coordinates you can place the legend wherever you want, including outside of the plot

Another great lession, thanks. Your videos are very practical, focused and to the point. Your presentation style is also great, and moves at a good pace without being too fast (I end up having to put some presenters on 1.5 speed b/c they don't seem to know how to say what they're trying to get across).
One observation: I think face should be fontface in the annotate() section (at least on v 4.2.3 of R). face = "bold" gives me the warning "Ignoring unknown parameters: `face`", but when I tried fontface = "bold" it worked.

very handy in some situations and not a common knowledge - thanks!

Your videos are of great help to me! A video about multivariate binomial logistic regression in R would be much appreciated!

Seems to me that if you are using the same format for your all figures that you could set up your format in the global environment. Looks like you are working inside Quarto so the global settings would then be in the YAML at the beginning of the document? P. S. the formatting of these arrows reminds of a LaTeX package called tikz which does a wonderful job of generated all kinds of complex shapes amongst other things. Thanks.

Thanks for very useful videos Greg. I am wondering if you will cover creating visually pleasing tables? I mean tables as outputs, I don't mean tables created within the environment.

WOW, eye opening video. Thanks Dr. Greg. Where can I get the download link🙏🙏🙏

[tommy.h.descartes]

Also can you do. Video on timeseries plots I find it difficult to work with the time index in R line graphs

[victorblaer]

Thx, great tutorial. All great except the ugly arrows ;) The semi curved ones are much more aestheically pleasing imho.

Hi Dr. Greg, As a newbie to 'R' your videos are amazing and very clear to follow and have given me the confidence to use with a forthcoming research study and to get quite creative with my own data. I have a query regarding legends: the order of the legend titles is normally alphabetical it seems but sometimes I would like a different order. (I tried to post a screengrab on ImgBB but the post was removed). How can one change that? Thank you Julian

[riptideking]

whch editor you use sir for your videos?

[tommy.h.descartes]

Great content always struggle with element_text

[tommy.h.descartes]

I think it would be useful to share your r files/code.
