Fixing Misaligned Emoji Labels with ggplot2
Here is the code that fixes the issue with the labels not being centered: library(ggplot2) ggplot(test, aes(x = Sender, y = n, fill = Emoji)) + theme_minimal() + geom_bar(stat = "identity", position = position_dodge()) + geom_label(aes(label = Glyph), family = "Noto Color Emoji", label.size = NA, fill = alpha(c("white"), 0), size = 10, position = position_dodge2(width = 0.9, preserve = "single")) I removed the position argument from the geom_label function because it was not necessary and caused the labels to be shifted off-center.
