Description

I want to build a phylogenetic tree from a newick file with ggplotly function but as soon as I use geom_text_repel to avoid overlapping between branches and labels, it says that this function is not yet implemented. The geom_text works only by itself but there is a lot of ovelap. Do you know anything that can help instead? Here is a small example.

library(ggtree)
library(plotly)

treefile <- "filename.newick"
tree <- read.tree(treefile)
p1 <- ggtree(tree)
p1 + geom_text_repel()
plotly::ggplotly(p1)

Research direction

Start with the minimal ggtree/Newick example and the plotly::ggplotly(p1) entry point, comparing the existing geom_text behavior with the reported geom_text_repel rejection. Done should mean that ggplotly accepts geom_text_repel for this use case and avoids the reported label-overlap problem.
