Annotating text on individual facet in ggplot2

MYaseen208 picture MYaseen208 · Aug 9, 2012 · Viewed 87.4k times · Source

I want to annotate some text on last facet of the plot with the following code:

library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) + geom_point()
p <- p + facet_grid(. ~ cyl)
p <- p + annotate("text", label = "Test", size = 4, x = 15, y = 5)
print(p)

enter image description here

But this code annotates the text on every facet. I would highly appreciate if you guide me how to get the annotated text on only one facet.

Typically you'd do something like this:

ann_text <- data.frame(mpg = 15,wt = 5,lab = "Text",
                       cyl = factor(8,levels = c("4","6","8")))
p + geom_text(data = ann_text,label = "Text")

It should work without specifying the factor variable completely, but will probably throw some warnings:
