Description
I would like to produce a scatter plot in HTML format where labels are associated with each point.
This works well when I export the plot in PDF or PNG format:
But my HTML does not have the labels associated with each point. The warning message suggests that plotly does not support the label geometry from the ggrepel package:
Would someone be so kind so add support for this function, please?
data(iris)
library(ggplot2)
library(htmlwidgets)
library(plotly)
p <- ggplot2::ggplot(iris, ggplot2::aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Petal.Length)) +
ggplot2::geom_point() +
ggrepel::geom_text_repel(ggplot2::aes(label = Species)) +
ggplot2::theme_classic()
ggplot2::ggsave('output/plot/point/example_repel_labels.pdf', p, height = 15, width = 15)
ggplot2::ggsave('output/plot/point/example_repel_labels.png', p, height = 15, width = 15)
pPlotly <- plotly::ggplotly(p)
htmlwidgets::saveWidget(pPlotly, 'output/plot/point/example_repel_labels.html')
Output:
Warning message:
In geom2trace.default(dots[[1L]][[1L]], dots[[2L]][[1L]], dots[[3L]][[1L]]) :
geom_GeomTextRepel() has yet to be implemented in plotly.

Research direction
Start at the geom2trace.default entry point named in the warning and reproduce the supplied R example with geom_text_repel. Done means plotly::ggplotly renders the labels in the saved HTML without reporting that GeomTextRepel is unsupported.
