I'm trying to rotate an annotation on a ggplot in R, similar to this question, but using the label geometry with the background.
Using the code that works with geom = "text"
or geom_text
with geom = 'label'
or geom_label
results in un-rotated annotation.
fake = data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=rnorm(100))
ggplot(data = fake, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point() +
geom_vline(xintercept = -1, linetype = 2, color = "red") +
# annotate(geom = "text", x = -1, y = -1, label = "Helpful annotation", color = "red",
# angle = 90)
annotate(geom = "label", x = -1, y = -1, label = "Helpful annotation", color = "red",
angle = 90)
Text shows up with white background, but without rotation.
Is there an alternate way to rotate the label?

This can't currently be done with geom_label
. From the help: "Currently geom_label() does not support the check_overlap argument or the angle aesthetic."
But this can be done with a related function from the ggtext
package:
ggplot(data = fake, aes(x = x, y = y)) +
geom_point() +
geom_vline(xintercept = -1, linetype = 2, color = "red") +
ggtext::geom_richtext(x = -1, y = -1, label = "Helpful annotation", angle = 90)
