Given a dummy data set:
V1<-c(1,10,30,22,22,20)
V2<-c(4,17,4,33,33.2,15)
V3<-c(20,20,15,34,33,30)
V4<-c("A","A","A","B","B","B")
DF<-data.frame(V1,V2,V3,V4)
If I were to plot a bubble plot like so:
symbols(DF$V1,DF$V2,circles=V3,inches=0.35,fg="darkblue",bg="red")
text(DF$V1,DF$V2,V4,cex=0.5)
I get some overlap with the 4th and 5th label text. Using the below code, I can remove this overlap by adjusting specific points
text(DF$V1,DF$V2+c( 0, 0, 0, 1, -1,0 ),V4,cex=0.5)
Which works fine, but I would like to work in ggplot. If I do a simple ggplot
ggplot(DF,aes(x=V1,y=V2,size=V3,label=V4),legend=FALSE)+geom_point(color='darkblue',fill="red", shape=21)+theme_bw()+geom_text(size=5)
I get the same overlap, but I don't know how to adjust the individual points to avoid the overlap. I've tried using "thigmophobe.labels", but that adjusts all points. I'd like to just slightly adjust the points that overlap as to make them readable.
