Description

Build a data.frame

tempDf <- data.frame("x" = c(22.1, 22.1, 14.4, 32.1, 22.0, 32.1, 84.3, 15.9, 15.9, 11.8, 11.8, 25.1, 15.7, 22.4, 35.1, 36.6, 70.4, 65.2, 42.9, 36.3, 47.8),
"y" = c(21.0, 21.0, 39.8, 47.6, 69.6, 95.0, 94.8, 17.3, 17.3, 27.6, 27.6, 90.3, 85.7, 94.1, 72.3, 71.5, 100.0, 92.4, 76.9, 34.6, 4.9),

Make plot using ggplot.

        ggplot(tempDf, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_point(size = 4, shape = 0, aes(fill="green")) + 
        geom_text(aes(label= string), size = 2) + 
        geom_segment(data = tempDf, aes(x=x, xend=endX, y=y, yend=endY, group = index, color=as.factor(index)), size = .3, arrow=arrow(length=unit(0.3,"cm")) ) + xlim(0,100) + ylim(0,100) +
        theme(panel.grid.minor = element_blank(), 
            panel.grid.major = element_blank(), 
            panel.background = element_rect(fill = "grey90"), 
            axis.ticks.x = element_blank(), 
            axis.ticks.y = element_blank(), 
            axis.text.x = element_blank(), 
            axis.text.y = element_blank(),  
            #legend.title=element_blank(),
            #legend.margin=unit(-.4, "cm"),
            plot.margin=unit(c(0, 0, 1.3, -1), units="cm"),  #top, right, bottom, left
            legend.text = element_text(size = 14, face = "bold") ) + 
        xlab("") + ylab("") 

Makes a plot that looks like this.

arrows

Turn it into a plotly plot in and drop it in a shiny app (literally the same code with a 'ggplotly' tacked on)
And this is the output.

No arrows.

In addition, in the original plot I can do both a geom_point() with a empty square and a geom_text() and get the numerals to appear inside the square. That's also not appearing here. That is technically a separate issue. If you like I can open up another thread for that issue.

Research direction

Start by running the supplied ggplot example, then pass the same plot to ggplotly inside a Shiny app and compare the rendered output. Focus on the geom_segment arrow and the geom_point plus geom_text combination described in the report. Done means arrows render in the interactive plot and the point labels appear as expected.
