Labels always get misaligned

[gluijk]

Labels always get misaligned. They don't seem to follow any logical rule.
Using ggsankey on a W10 laptop with R version 4.2.1. Output was generated with pdf() since there is no proper antialiasing in the png() output (not an issue of ggsankey but of the OS), and some labels get cropped for being so far from the diagram.
The package is excellent however!

Hi! Can you provide the code and data for the graph?

Looks like you maybe be using hjust instead of nudge_x. But that’s just a guess!

Hi David, thanks for your prompt response. Your guess is totally correct. As a rookie I used an example from:
https://rpubs.com/techanswers88/sankey-with-own-data-in-ggplot
and for some reason it uses:

pl <- pl +geom_sankey_label(size = 3, color = "black", fill= "white", hjust = -0.5)

I then tried:

• Removing the hjust parameter and the labels are centred by default
• hjust=0 and the labels are aligned on the left (which I like best)

Will investigate what nudge_x is about.

Thanks!

Hi David, you already solved the question on GitHub. I have two more questions: * Categories are alphabetically ordered by default down-to-up. Is is it possilble to orden them up-to-down? (i.e. "1_GROUP" would be plotted above "2_GROUP", not below). Or better even: use a vector to set the ordering for all categories. * Second question: the ggsankey plotting works with dataframes where each row is one sample. Is it possible to adapt it to work with already calculated input/output matrix? For instance: this dataframe Before      After G1    G2 G1    G3 G2    G1 G1    G2 G2    G2 G3    G1 Can be defined with a Before/Afer matrix so that all repetated transitions (like G1 -> G2) don't need to be repeated, just counted: [ [0 2 1] [1 1 0] [1 0 0] ] This can save tons of space and processing when the equivalent dataframe has thousand of rows. I'm applying a workaround to compensate for the absence of antialiasing in the Windows output by outputting to PDF and then converting to PNG. The quality is superb! Best regards
