Question

I would like to annotate my plots with a filename. With plot() I used mtext:

plot(1:10)
mtext("File xy-12-34-56.csv", 4)

How can I do that with ggplot2 and qplot or ggplot? It should not collide with the legend. I found the commands annotate and grid, but I could not get an annotation similar to mtext with these.

As a workaround I could try watermarks, but perhaps you have a good hint for me. Kind regards, Jonas

Was it helpful?

Solution

Update

Looks like to achieve the result now we should use the following:

library(ggplot2)
library(grid)
library(gridExtra)
p <- qplot(data = mtcars, wt, mpg)
grid.arrange(p, right = textGrob("File xy-12-34-56.csv", rot = -90, vjust = 1))

Old answer

Try this:

library(gridExtra)
p <- qplot(data = mtcars, wt, mpg)
print(arrangeGrob(p, legend = textGrob("File xy-12-34-56.csv", rot = -90, vjust = 1)))
