Annotation and boxplot width after combining ggplotly() with ggplot2 boxplot

September 15, 2022

I have created a boxplot using annotate() in order to display summary statistics and also setting the width of the box plot but when I used ggplotly() as you can see both the width and the annotation broke. How can I fix those by using ggplot2 or only plotly?

throu<-structure(list(case_id = c("WC4132791", "WC4130879", "WC4128064",

    )), row.names = c(NA, 50L), class = "data.frame")

I also have already extracted summary stats in a separate dataframe:

    quarts<- structure(list(min = 0, q1 = 7.1515625, median = 11.4881944444444, 
        mean = 12.3112423835125, q3 = 14.8456597222222, max = 93.0756944444445, 
        st_dev = 6.72704434885421, iqr = 7.69409722222222), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, 
    -1L))

p<-ggplot(throu, aes( y=throughput_time)) + 
      geom_boxplot(fill="steelblue", alpha=0.2,width=0.05) +
      annotate(geom = 'text', x = 0.05, y = 60, hjust = 0, color = 'gray50',
               label = paste(names(quarts), collapse = '\n')) +
      annotate(geom = 'text', x = 0.07, y = 60, hjust = 0,
               label = paste(round(unlist(quarts), 3), collapse = '\n')) +
      xlim(-0.1, 0.1) +
      xlab("")+ylab("Case duration in days")+ theme_classic()+ 
      theme(axis.ticks.x = element_blank(),
            axis.text.x = element_blank())
    ggplotly(p)

>Solution :

Use layout with boxgap;

p <- ggplot(throu, aes(x = 0, y=throughput_time)) + 
      geom_boxplot(fill="steelblue", alpha=0.2,width=0.05) +
      annotate(geom = 'text', x = 0.05, y = 60, hjust = 0, color = 'gray50',
               label = paste(names(quarts), collapse = '\n')) +
      annotate(geom = 'text', x = 0.07, y = 60, hjust = 0,
               label = paste(round(unlist(quarts), 3), collapse = '\n')) +
      xlim(-0.1, 0.1) +
      xlab("") + ylab("Case duration in days") + 
      theme_classic()

plotly::ggplotly(p) %>% plotly::layout(boxgap=0.93)
