Aligning geom_text to geom_jitter points

Question

How can I align (along the x axis dimension) the text labels with the jittered points in the following plot in R ggplot2 ?

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
mtcars %>% 
    ggplot(aes(am, wt, group = am, label = wt)) +
    geom_boxplot(outlier.shape = NA) +
    geom_jitter() +
    geom_text()

Answer 1

Easy solution would be to specify position_jitter in both geom_text and geom_jitter with the same seed .

library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(am, wt, group = am, label = wt)) +
    geom_boxplot(outlier.shape = NA) +
    geom_jitter(position = position_jitter(seed = 1)) +
    geom_text(position = position_jitter(seed = 1))
