Making a labelled slope plot with the help of R's ggrepel and ggplot2 (CC313)

Pat uses ggplot2 and ggrepel to generate a labelled slope plot based on a similar plot showing survey sentiments for two groups of people. He customizes the appearance using pivot_longer, group_by, mutate, slice_max, geom_line, geom_vline, annotate, geom_text_repel, scale_x_discrete, scale_color_gradient2, coord_cartesian, labs, and theme. You can find the code he developed in this episode at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/.... The newsletter describing how I would go about generating the figure can be found at https://shop.riffomonas.org/posts/che....

If you have a figure that you would like to see m-e discuss in a future newsletter and episode of Code Club, email me at [email protected]!
