custom column to frame title in gganimate












1















I would like to use a custom column in gganimate title but couldn't read anywhere in docs how to do it.



Example using the code from their page:



library(gapminder)

ggplot(gapminder, aes(gdpPercap, lifeExp, size = pop, colour = country)) +
geom_point(alpha = 0.7, show.legend = FALSE) +
scale_colour_manual(values = country_colors) +
scale_size(range = c(2, 12)) +
scale_x_log10() +
facet_wrap(~continent) +
# Here comes the gganimate specific bits
labs(title = 'Year: {frame_time}', x = 'GDP per capita', y = 'life expectancy') +
transition_time(year) +
ease_aes('linear')


I want 'GDP per capita' (Just a silly example I know) in title instead of year.
I've tried replacing 8th line with:



labs(title = 'Gdp: {gdpPercap}', x = 'GDP per capita', y = 'life expectancy') +


No succcess so far

  • show your data please. You can try to use transition_reveal() with {frame_along}

  • data is gapminder. Anyone can get that dataframe. {frame_along} and how to choose the column?

  • Have you looked into this clever, but hacky-ish approach?
