I want to plot a dodged barplot with the values written within the columns.
My code to plot looks like this:



DF %>% ggplot() +
geom_col(aes(Date, Value, fill = H2), position = "dodge") +
geom_text(aes(Date, Value, label = Value),
position = position_dodge(width = 1),
vjust = 1.5)


This outputs the following:enter image description here
As you can see, the values specified by geom_text are not legible where the differences between the two columns are small.
Is there a way to improve this?
Flipping the coordinates and then using the position_dodge argument as proposed here: Position geom_text on dodged barplot does not work for my data due to the small differences between the two groups.

Try:



DF %>% ggplot(aes(Date, Value, fill = H2)) +
geom_col(position = "dodge") +
geom_text(aes(label = Value),
position = position_dodge(width=1),
vjust=1.5)


Please note that I made the code a bit shorter by including aes() already in ggplot().

  • Nope, I still get the same solution as above. My graphic device does not output me the same spacing of the geom_text values as yours does. Seems like an error on the graphics device imo. restarting R did not help either.

  • Did you already try to save your plot e.g. to pdf or to png? Maybe it's just R or RStudio. You might also try to update ggplot2, R and / or RStudio

I finally found the cause of the problem. It had to do with the formatting of the "Date" Column. I had it formatted as a POSIXct date format. For some reason this messed with the position_dodge formatting as described in my original question. Reformatting the date as a plain character solved the question and gave me the same plot as @alex_555's solution.
