Controlling position of add_data_labels_repel to match points_beeswarm() or points_jitter()

[htqqdd]

I'm using tidyplots and wondering if there's a way to ensure that the labels from add_data_labels_repel() correspond to the exact position of the points created by add_data_points_beeswarm() or add_data_points_jitter().

In ggplot2, I can achieve this by using the same position object for both the points and the labels:

jitter_pos <- position_jitter(width = 0.2, seed = 123)
feature_number_plot <- ggplot(data, aes(x = group, y = feature_number)) +
  geom_point(aes(position = jitter_pos) +
  geom_text_repel(aes(x = group, label = outlier), position = jitter_pos, max.overlaps = Inf, min.segment.length = 0)

Currently with tidyplots, I'm using:

 tidyplot(data, x = group, y = feature_number) |>
  add_data_points_jitter() |>
  add_data_labels_repel(label = outlier)

Is there a way to ensure the labels in tidyplots correspond to their specific points, similar to how I can share the position object in ggplot2? Or are there any other approaches to achieve this alignment? For example: if there is a parameter like label_position = "beeswarm"

Thank you for this amazing package!

Hi @htqqdd

This is an interesting point!

I just pushed a fix to the development version of tidyplots, which now allows to do this

tidyplot(study, x = group, y = score) |>
  add_data_points(jitter_width = 0.5) |>
  add_data_labels_repel(label = participant,
                        jitter_width = 0.5,
                        max.overlaps = Inf, min.segment.length = 0)

You can install the development version like so

install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("jbengler/tidyplots")

Or in case {pak} does not work, like so

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jbengler/tidyplots")

Awesome, Thank you so much!
