lets_plot.geom_label#
- lets_plot.geom_label(mapping=None, *, data=None, stat=None, position=None, show_legend=None, sampling=None, tooltips=None, map=None, map_join=None, use_crs=None, label_format=None, na_text=None, nudge_x=None, nudge_y=None, label_padding=None, label_r=None, label_size=None, alpha_stroke=None, size_unit=None, color_by=None, fill_by=None, **other_args)#
Add a text directly to the plot with a rectangle behind the text.
- Parameters:
- mappingFeatureSpec
Set of aesthetic mappings created by aes() function. Aesthetic mappings describe the way that variables in the data are mapped to plot “aesthetics”.
- datadict or Pandas or Polars DataFrame or GeoDataFrame
The data to be displayed in this layer. If None, the default, the data is inherited from the plot data as specified in the call to ggplot.
- statstr, default=’identity’
The statistical transformation to use on the data for this layer, as a string. Supported transformations: ‘identity’ (leaves the data unchanged), ‘count’ (counts number of points with same x-axis coordinate), ‘bin’ (counts number of points with x-axis coordinate in the same bin), ‘smooth’ (performs smoothing - linear default), ‘density’ (computes and draws kernel density estimate).
- positionstr or FeatureSpec, default=’identity’
Position adjustment. Either a position adjustment name: ‘dodge’, ‘dodgev’, ‘jitter’, ‘nudge’, ‘jitterdodge’, ‘fill’, ‘stack’ or ‘identity’, or the result of calling a position adjustment function (e.g., position_dodge() etc.).
- show_legendbool, default=True
False - do not show legend for this layer.
- samplingFeatureSpec
Result of the call to the sampling_xxx() function. To prevent any sampling for this layer pass value “none” (string “none”).
- tooltipslayer_tooltips
Result of the call to the layer_tooltips() function. Specify appearance, style and content.
- mapGeoDataFrame or Geocoder
Data containing coordinates of points.
- map_joinstr or list
Keys used to join map coordinates with data. First value in pair - column/columns in data. Second value in pair - column/columns in map.
- use_crsstr, optional, default=”EPSG:4326” (aka WGS84)
EPSG code of the coordinate reference system (CRS) or the keyword “provided”. If an EPSG code is given, then all the coordinates in GeoDataFrame (see the map parameter) will be projected to this CRS. Specify “provided” to disable any further re-projection and to keep the GeoDataFrame’s original CRS.
- label_formatstr
Format used to transform label mapping values to a string. Examples:
‘.2f’ -> ‘12.45’
‘Num {}’ -> ‘Num 12.456789’
‘TTL: {.2f}$’ -> ‘TTL: 12.45$’
For more info see https://lets-plot.org/python/pages/formats.html.
- nudge_xfloat
Horizontal adjustment to nudge labels by.
- nudge_yfloat
Vertical adjustment to nudge labels by.
- na_textstr, default=’n/a’
Text to show for missing values.
- label_paddingfloat
Amount of padding around label. Default is 0.25 of font size.
- label_rfloat
Radius of rounded corners. Default is 0.15 of label height.
- label_sizefloat, default = 1.0
Size of label border.
- alpha_strokebool, default=False
Enable the applying of ‘alpha’ to ‘color’ (label text and border).
- size_unit{‘x’, ‘y’}
Relate the size of the text label to the length of the unit step along one of the axes. If None, no fitting is performed.
- color_by{‘fill’, ‘color’, ‘paint_a’, ‘paint_b’, ‘paint_c’}, default=’color’
Define the color aesthetic for the geometry.
- fill_by{‘fill’, ‘color’, ‘paint_a’, ‘paint_b’, ‘paint_c’}, default=’fill’
Define the fill aesthetic for the geometry.
- other_args
Other arguments passed on to the layer. These are often aesthetics settings used to set an aesthetic to a fixed value, like color=’red’, fill=’blue’, size=3 or shape=21. They may also be parameters to the paired geom/stat.
- Returns:
- LayerSpec
Geom object specification.
Notes
geom_label() adds a text directly to the plot and draws a rectangle behind it, making it easier to read.
geom_label() understands the following aesthetics mappings:
x : x-axis value.
y : y-axis value.
alpha : transparency level of a layer. Accept values between 0 and 1.
color (colour) : color of the geometry. String in the following formats: RGB/RGBA (e.g. “rgb(0, 0, 255)”); HEX (e.g. “#0000FF”); color name (e.g. “red”); role name (“pen”, “paper” or “brush”).
fill: background color of the label.
size : font size.
label : text to add to plot.
family : font family. Possible values: ‘sans’, ‘serif’, ‘mono’, any other like: “Times New Roman”. The default is ‘sans’.
fontface : font style and weight. Possible values: ‘plain’, ‘bold’, ‘italic’, ‘bold italic’. The default is ‘plain’.
hjust : horizontal alignment. Possible values: ‘left’, ‘middle’, ‘right’ or number between 0 (‘left’) and 1 (‘right’). There are two special alignments: ‘inward’ (aligns label towards the plot center) and ‘outward’ (away from the plot center).
vjust : vertical alignment. Possible values: ‘bottom’, ‘center’, ‘top’ or number between 0 (‘bottom’) and 1 (‘top’). There are two special alignments: ‘inward’ (aligns label towards the plot center) and ‘outward’ (away from the plot center).
angle : rotation angle in degrees.
lineheight : line height multiplier applied to the font size in the case of multi-line text.
The data and map parameters of GeoDataFrame type support shapes Point and MultiPoint.
The map parameter of Geocoder type implicitly invokes centroids() function.
The conventions for the values of map_join parameter are as follows:
Joining data and GeoDataFrame object
Data has a column named ‘State_name’ and GeoDataFrame has a matching column named ‘state’:
map_join=[‘State_Name’, ‘state’]
map_join=[[‘State_Name’], [‘state’]]
Joining data and Geocoder object
Data has a column named ‘State_name’. The matching key in Geocoder is always ‘state’ (providing it is a state-level geocoder) and can be omitted:
map_join=’State_Name’
map_join=[‘State_Name’]
Joining data by composite key
Joining by composite key works like in examples above, but instead of using a string for a simple key you need to use an array of strings for a composite key. The names in the composite key must be in the same order as in the US street addresses convention: ‘city’, ‘county’, ‘state’, ‘country’. For example, the data has columns ‘State_name’ and ‘County_name’. Joining with a 2-keys county level Geocoder object (the Geocoder keys ‘county’ and ‘state’ are omitted in this case):
map_join=[‘County_name’, ‘State_Name’]
