Use stat_summary to annotate plot with number of observations

by

You can make your own function to use inside the stat_summary(). Here n_fun calculate place of y value as median() and then add label= that consist of n= and number of observations. It is important to use data.frame() instead of c() because paste0() will produce character but y value is numeric, but c() would make both character. Then in stat_summary() use this function and geom="text". This will ensure that for each x value position and label is made only from this level’s data.

n_fun <- function(x){
  return(data.frame(y = median(x), label = paste0("n = ",length(x))))
}

ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), mpg, label=rownames(mtcars))) +
  geom_boxplot(fill = "grey80", colour = "#3366FF") + 
  stat_summary(fun.data = n_fun, geom = "text")
