Description

I make a lot of bar charts and prefer geom_chicklet over goem_col for presentations

library(ggplot2)
library(plotly)
library(scales)

p <- ggplot(aes(y = perc,
x = response,
fill = fill_color,
text = paste("Response:", response, "
Percent:", percent(perc)))) + # Tooltip content
geom_chicklet() +
coord_flip() +
scale_fill_identity() +
scale_y_continuous(labels = percent_format()) +
labs(title = "Barriers indicated by the survey: these are the reasons people say they don't vote",
y = paste("Percent of the", nrow(combined_surveys_english), "survey respondents"),
caption = "",
x = "") +
theme_colibri() +
theme(axis.text.y = element_text(color = "black", size = 10),
strip.text.y = element_text(angle = 0),
plot.title = element_text(size = 16),
legend.position = "none")

Convert to interactive plot

ggplotly(p, tooltip = "text")

Research direction

The report provides no repository file or test; start by reproducing the supplied R example with ggplotly(p, tooltip = "text") and compare it with a standard geom_col chart. Trace how ggplotly handles geom_chicklet and verify that the interactive chart renders with the requested text tooltip; the issue does not specify a preferred test location.
