Dear All, I am struggling to jitter the labels in this plot: p<-ggplot(centbev,aes(x=bet,y=eig,label=rownames(centbev),colour=res, size=abs(res)))+xlab("Betweenness Centrality")+ylab("Eigenvector Centrality") p+geom_text()+labs(title="Key Actor Analysis AD FD Network") When I try this without jittering I end up with labels that I cannot distinguish, when I try it with, I get a circular spot behind the label which makes it illegible. I want to make the labels (which are numeric) legible. Many thanks for any guidance. Nick
