Outlined text with ggplot2

Question

I\'d like to know if there is a way to draw \"outlined text\" with ggplot2, for example black text with a small white border, in order to make it easily readable on backgrou

Answer 1

The accepted answer by Greg Snow doesn't work anymore with ggplot2@2.2.1 because of the call of aes instead of aes_q.

Use

for(i in theta) {
  p <- p + geom_text( 
    aes_q(x = bquote(carat+.(cos(i)*xo)),
          y = bquote(price+.(sin(i)*yo)),
          label = ~cut), 
    size=12, colour='black' )
}

instead.
