Render text and labels at ordinates

geom_*_text() renders text, and geom_*_label() labels, at the positions of the subjects or vectors. geom_*_text_repel() and geom_*_label_repel() invoke functionality from the ggrepel package.

Arguments

mapping	Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes() or aes_(). If specified and inherit.aes = TRUE (the default), it is combined with the default mapping at the top level of the plot. You must supply mapping if there is no plot mapping.
data	The data to be displayed in this layer. There are three options: If NULL, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot(). A data.frame, or other object, will override the plot data. All objects will be fortified to produce a data frame. See fortify() for which variables will be created. A function will be called with a single argument, the plot data. The return value must be a data.frame, and will be used as the layer data. A function can be created from a formula (e.g. ~ head(.x, 10)).
stat	The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string.
position	Position adjustment, either as a string, or the result of a call to a position adjustment function.
...	Additional arguments passed to ggplot2::layer().
parse, check_overlap, nudge_x, nudge_y	See ggplot2::geom_text().
na.rm	Passed to ggplot2::layer().
show.legend	logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes. It can also be a named logical vector to finely select the aesthetics to display.
inherit.aes	If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders().
.matrix	A character string matching one of several indicators for one or both matrices in a matrix decomposition used for ordination. The standard values are "rows", "cols", and "dims" (for both).

Biplot layers

ggbiplot() uses ggplot2::fortify() internally to produce a single data frame with a .matrix column distinguishing the subjects ("rows") and variables ("cols"). The stat layers stat_rows() and stat_cols() simply filter the data frame to one of these two.

The geom layers geom_rows_*() and geom_cols_*() call the corresponding stat in order to render plot elements for the corresponding factor matrix. geom_dims_*() selects a default matrix based on common practice, e.g. points for rows and arrows for columns.

Aesthetics

geom_*_text(), geom_*_label(), geom_*_text_repel(), and geom_*_label_repel() understand the following aesthetics (required aesthetics are in bold):

• x

• y

• label

• alpha

• angle

• colour

• family

• fontface

• hjust

• lineheight

• size

• vjust

• group
