Chapter 6 GeomTimelineLabel

This geom_* performs the labels annotation on the geom_timeline plots.

6.1 Example

Using ggplot2::layer to plot the visuals of GeomTimelineLabel.

# Path to the raw data.
raw_data_path <- system.file("extdata", "signif.txt", package = "msdr")

# Loading the dataset of Earthquake.
df <- readr::read_delim(file = raw_data_path,      
                        delim = '\t',

                        progress = FALSE,           
                        col_types = readr::cols())

# Cleaning and Creating LOCATION column.
df_clean <- df %>% eq_clean_data() %>% filter(COUNTRY %in% c('CHILE', 'COLOMBIA','ECUADOR',
                                                             'PERU', 'PARAGUAY','URUGUAY',

# Creating a simple geom_timeline plot.

                                             color = TOTAL_DEATHS))

                                  n_max = 10),
                    data = df_clean,
                    stat = 'identity',
