### New to Plotly?

Plotly's R library is free and open source!<br>
[Get started](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/) by downloading the client and [reading the primer](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/).<br>
You can set up Plotly to work in [online](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/#hosting-graphs-in-your-online-plotly-account) or [offline](https://plot.ly/r/offline/) mode.<br>
We also have a quick-reference [cheatsheet](https://images.plot.ly/plotly-documentation/images/r_cheat_sheet.pdf) (new!) to help you get started!

### Version Check

Version 4 of Plotly's R package is now [available](https://plot.ly/r/getting-started/#installation)!<br>
Check out [this post](http://moderndata.plot.ly/upgrading-to-plotly-4-0-and-above/) for more information on breaking changes and new features available in this version.

```{r}
library(plotly)
packageVersion('plotly')
```

### Basic Text Graph
Sources: [International IDEA](https://www.idea.int/data-tools/continent-view/Europe/40?st=par#rep) for national turnout and [European Parliament](https://election-results.eu/turnout/) for European turnout, while regional classifications are based on [EuroVoc](https://publications.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/th-concept-scheme/-/resource/eurovoc/100277?target=Browse).

```{r, results='hide'}
recent_turnout <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/european_turnout.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
recent_turnout$region <- factor(recent_turnout$region, levels=c("British","Northern","Western","Mediterranean","Central/Eastern"))

library(plotly)
p <- recent_turnout %>%
ggplot(aes(x=nat_turnout,y=euro_turnout)) +
geom_text(aes(size=population/3.5, label=abbreviation, colour=region), alpha=1) +
labs(title = "Recent turnout in European Union countries",
x = "Latest legislative or presidential election (whichever had higher turnout)",
y = "May 2019 European Parliament election")
p <- ggplotly(p)

# Create a shareable link to your chart
# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_text/basic-chart")
chart_link
```

```{r echo=FALSE}
chart_link
```

### Overlaid Points
Colour-coding the text itself might present readability issues. Another possible use of geom\_text is to keep the text grey, but overlay it on a coloured point graph.

Adding the *text* option within aes() allows us to control the text that appears when hovering over a point.

```{r, results='hide'}
recent_turnout <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/european_turnout.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
recent_turnout$region <- factor(recent_turnout$region, levels=c("British","Northern","Western","Mediterranean","Central/Eastern"))

Can we add dataframe assignment here so that the example runs without having run the first example first.

recent_turnout <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/european_turnout.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
recent_turnout$region <- factor(recent_turnout$region, levels=c("British","Northern","Western","Mediterranean","Central/Eastern"))

library(plotly)
p <- recent_turnout %>%
ggplot(aes(x=nat_turnout,y=euro_turnout)) +
geom_point(aes(size=population, colour=region, text=paste("country:", country)), alpha=0.4) +
geom_text(aes(size=population/3.5, label=abbreviation), colour="gray20", alpha=1) +
labs(title = "Recent turnout in European Union countries",
x = "Latest legislative or presidential election (whichever had higher turnout)",
y = "May 2019 European Parliament election")
p <- ggplotly(p)

# Create a shareable link to your chart
# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_text/overlaid-points")
chart_link
```

```{r echo=FALSE}
chart_link
```

### Customed Colour and Size Scale
Let's use the LaCroixColoR package to spruce up the colour scheme. In addition, by using scale\_size\_continuous, we can make sure that none of the text is too small.

```{r, results='hide'}
recent_turnout <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/european_turnout.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
recent_turnout$region <- factor(recent_turnout$region, levels=c("British","Northern","Western","Mediterranean","Central/Eastern"))

library(plotly)
library(LaCroixColoR)
p <- recent_turnout %>%
ggplot(aes(x=nat_turnout,y=euro_turnout)) +
geom_point(aes(size=population, colour=region, text=paste("country:", country)), alpha=0.4) +
geom_text(aes(size=population/3.5, label=abbreviation), colour="gray20", alpha=1) +
scale_colour_manual(values=lacroix_palette(n=6, name="PeachPear")) +
scale_size_continuous(range = c(3, 8)) +
labs(title = "Recent turnout in European Union countries",
x = "Latest legislative or presidential election (whichever had higher turnout)",
y = "May 2019 European Parliament election")
p <- ggplotly(p)

# Create a shareable link to your chart
# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_text/customized-scales")
chart_link
```

```{r echo=FALSE}
chart_link
```

### Adding a regression
Adding a regression line as well as a label. geom\_smooth does not allow for adjusting the transparency of the line (using alpha), which is why stat\_smooth is used here. annotate is used to include a single text label (geom\_text would create one label for every data point, all overlapped with each other).

```{r, results='hide'}
recent_turnout <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/european_turnout.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
recent_turnout$region <- factor(recent_turnout$region, levels=c("British","Northern","Western","Mediterranean","Central/Eastern"))
m <- lm(euro_turnout ~ nat_turnout, data = recent_turnout)

library(plotly)
library(LaCroixColoR)
p <- recent_turnout %>%
ggplot(aes(x=nat_turnout,y=euro_turnout)) +
stat_smooth(geom="line", method="lm", alpha=0.3, se=FALSE) +
geom_point(aes(size=population, colour=region, text=paste("country:", country)), alpha=0.4) +
geom_text(aes(size=population/3.5, label=abbreviation), colour="gray20", alpha=1) +
scale_colour_manual(values=lacroix_palette(n=6, name="PeachPear")) +
scale_size_continuous(range = c(3, 8)) +
labs(title = "Recent turnout in European Union countries",
x = "Latest legislative or presidential election (whichever had higher turnout)",
y = "May 2019 European Parliament election") +
annotate(geom="text", x=60, y=80, label = paste("European turnout = \n",
round(unname(coef(m)[2]),2),
"x national turnout",
round(unname(coef(m)[1]),1)))
p <- ggplotly(p)

# Create a shareable link to your chart
# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_text/add-regression")
chart_link
```

```{r echo=FALSE}
chart_link
```

### Customized Formatting
Changed the font of the geom\_text and of the graph (these must be done separately!), corrected the size label, centre-aligned the title.

```{r, results='hide'}
recent_turnout <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/european_turnout.csv",stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
recent_turnout$region <- factor(recent_turnout$region, levels=c("British","Northern","Western","Mediterranean","Central/Eastern"))
m <- lm(euro_turnout ~ nat_turnout, data = recent_turnout)

library(plotly)
library(LaCroixColoR)
p <- recent_turnout %>%
ggplot(aes(x=nat_turnout,y=euro_turnout)) +
stat_smooth(geom="line", method="lm", alpha=0.3, se=FALSE) +
geom_point(aes(size=population, colour=region, text=paste("country:", country)), alpha=0.4) +
geom_text(aes(size=population/3.5, label=abbreviation), colour="gray20", alpha=1, family="Fira Sans") +
scale_colour_manual(values=lacroix_palette(n=6, name="PeachPear")) +
scale_size_continuous(range = c(3, 8)) +
labs(title = "Recent turnout in European Union countries",
x = "Latest legislative or presidential election (whichever had higher turnout)",
y = "May 2019 European Parliament election",
size = "") +
annotate(geom="text", x=60, y=80, label = paste("European turnout = \n",
round(unname(coef(m)[2]),2),
"x national turnout",
round(unname(coef(m)[1]),1))) +
theme(plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5)) +
guides(size=guide_legend(""), fill = FALSE) +
theme(text = element_text(family = 'Fira Sans'))
p <- ggplotly(p)

# Create a shareable link to your chart
# Set up API credentials: https://plot.ly/r/getting-started
chart_link = api_create(p, filename="geom_text/add-formatting")
chart_link
```

```{r echo=FALSE}
chart_link
```
