Annotation above bars:

Question

dodged bar plot in ggplot again has me stumped. I asked about annotating text above bars on here a few weeks back (LINK) and got a terrific response to use + stat_bin

Answer 1

I was having trouble getting the position dodges to line up, so I ended up creating a position_dodge object (is that the right terminology?), saving it to a variable, and then using that as the position for both geoms. Somewhat infuriatingly, they still seem to be a little off centre.

dodgewidth <- position_dodge(width=0.9)
ggplot(dat,aes(x = type,y = count, fill = group)) + 
  geom_bar(colour = "black", position = dodgewidth ,stat = "identity") +
  stat_bin(geom="text", position= dodgewidth, aes(x=type, label=count), vjust=-1)
