如何在ggplot2中将部分相关系数注释设为斜体

How to italicise part of correlation coefficient annotation in ggplot2

我无法弄清楚下面 annotate() 函数中的字母 "R" 是如何在我的绘图中变成斜体的。我试过在 paste() 之前添加 expression(),并使用 italic(),但随后将 "round(cor..." 开始的部分粘贴为文本,而不是计算结果。

    ggplot(subset(crossnat, !is.na(homicide) & !is.na(gdppercapita)),
  aes(x = gdppercapita, y = homicide)) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.4) +
  ggtitle("Figure 3: Relationship between GDP per capita ($) and homicide rate") +
  labs(subtitle = "n = 177 (17 countries removed as either GDP per capita or homicide data unavailable",
       x = "GDP per capita ($)",
       y = "Number of homicides in 2013 (per 100k of population)") +
  scale_y_continuous(breaks = c(0,15,30,45,60,75,90)) +
  geom_smooth(method = "loess",
              formula = y ~ x,
              colour = "red",
              size = 0.5) +
  annotate(x = 50000, y = 75,
           label = paste("R = ", round(cor(crossnat$gdppercapita, crossnat$homicide, use = "complete.obs"),3)),
           geom = "text", size = 4)

谢谢

编辑 - 建议的可能重复项似乎对我不起作用。我认为这可能是由于相关性的计算嵌入在 annotate()?

这种格式设置很棘手。使用parse=TRUE时需要注意白色的space。要格式化文本,您需要分两步粘贴。让我们创建一个简单的可重现示例:

ggData <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=rnorm(100) )

为了代码的可读性,我建议您将文本和相关值 R 存储在 ggplot 函数之外:

textPart1 <- "paste(italic(R), \" =\")"      # check the ?annotate example for \" =\"
corVal <- round(cor(ggData$x, ggData$y, use = "complete.obs"), 3)

诀窍是paste两个变量用sep="~"代替白色space.

ggplot(ggData, aes(x = x, y = y) ) +
  geom_point(alpha = 0.4) + 
  annotate("text", x = 2, y = 1.5,
           label = paste(textPart1, corVal, sep="~"), size = 4 , parse=TRUE)
