Re: [R] vjust unresponsive (ggplot2)

[Hadley Wickham]

vjust was always a hack that I never thought should work. The margins
parameter is the correct way to solve this problem as of ggplot2 2.0.0.

Re: [R] vjust unresponsive (ggplot2)

[Ista Zahn]

Hi Dan,

Chances are that you haven't yet upgraded to ggplot2 version 2.0. unit
(as well as arrow and alpha) are now re-exported from ggplot2.

Using the latest release I also see that vjust doesn't seem to do anything.

Best,
Ista

Re: [R] vjust unresponsive (ggplot2)

[Nordlund, Dan (DSHS/RDA)]

Are you sure it is not working for you?  Your example code did not work for me 
at all until I removed the plot .margin  parameter (unit wasn't recognized).  
Once I did that hjust and vjust worked as expected.  However, values between .1 
and .9 for vjust don't really move the axis title very much so it may not be 
real noticeable.  Try a value like 2 or 3, just to make sure you easily see the 
change in position before concluding that nothing is happening.

Subject: [R] vjust unresponsive (ggplot2)

Hi all,

I cannot for the life of me get my axis titles to adjust vertically in a 
ggplot. I've seen several posts about this and have tried everything:
keeping vjust within 0 and 1, adjusting the margins, etc. hjust is behaving 
just as it should but vjust just mocks me in silence. No error message is 
produced.

Here's a sample code:

x=data.frame(sample(1:10))
x[,2]=sample(1:10)

ggplot(data=x,aes(x=V2,y=V2))+theme(axis.title.y=element_text(vjust=.1,hjust=0.6),
plot.margin=unit(c(1,1,2,2),'cm'))

No matter what I put into vjust, nothing happens. Am I missing something 
obvious??

Thanks ahead of time for any help,
Ryan

Re: [R] vjust unresponsive (ggplot2)

[Ista Zahn]

That looks to me like it might be buggy. At least I would have
expected vjust to do _something_.

In terms of the practical issue, you can adjust the distance between
the title and the axis with margin, e.g.

ggplot(data=x,aes(x=V2,y=V2))+theme(axis.title.y=element_text(margin =
margin(0, 5, 0, 0)))

Best,
Ista

Re: [R] vjust unresponsive (ggplot2)

[Nordlund, Dan (DSHS/RDA)]

Ista,

You are correct, I was not at the latest release of ggplot2.  I updated to the 
latest version and am now seeing the same result as you and the OP.  So it does 
look like an issue with the latest version of ggplot2.
