Moving graph markup labels in ggplot2

Question

Is it possible to move labels so that in sector (-x, y) the label is on the left and sector (+ x, y) is the label on the right?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for:

library("ggplot2") tmp <- data.frame(x=-5:5, y=rnorm(11), lab=LETTERS[1:11]) p <- ggplot(aes(x=x, y=y, label=lab), data=tmp) + geom_point() + geom_text(data=subset(tmp, x > 0), hjust=-0.5) + geom_text(data=subset(tmp, x <= 0), hjust=1.5) print(p)
