Need help with the aligning of the labels on the barplot.

Here is the reproducible code:

library(ggmap)
library(ggplot2)
library(gganimate)

Answer 1

With recent updates to ggplot2, you can do this by setting position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5) in geom_text().

It may also interest you that you can use geom_col() as a shortcut for geom_bar(stat = "identity"). Also, labs has a title and subtitle parameter, so you don't need to use it and ggtitle.

ggplot(data = mydf1, aes(x = year, y = channels, fill = type, frame = year, cumulative = TRUE)) +
  geom_col() +
  labs(x = "year", y = "y", title = "Data Here", subtitle = "Statistics") +
  geom_text(aes(label = channels), color = "white", size = 3, position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5)) + 
  theme_minimal()
