Understanding ggplot2: Displaying Column Values on Stacked Bars Using Conditional Formatting
Understanding the Problem and Solution In this blog post, we’ll delve into a common problem when working with ggplot2 in R: displaying the value of a column on top of stacked bars. We’ll explore the initial approach, identify its limitations, and provide a more elegant solution using conditional formatting. Initial Approach The initial approach involves creating a data frame with counts in two columns (Number_NonHit_Cells and Number_Hit_Cells) and then calculating the frequency value (Freq) inside the ggplot2 call.
