Description
Hello,
The function plotly_build is very useful for introducing a ggplot in a plotly display. When it's bars, and with a label via geom_text, it doesn't follow the vertical alignment vjust function.
Using this function:
SampleData <- data.frame(Name = c("Peter", "Andrew"), Result = c(6, 9))
SamplePlot <- ggplot(SampleData, aes(Name, Result)) + geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
geom_text(aes(label=Result), color = "white", vjust = 4)
Using only ggplot, the texts are placed below the border:
When I use the plotly_build function that vertical alignement is lost
plotly_build(SamplePlot)
The display is the same as if the vjusthadn't been introduced

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided SampleData and SamplePlot example and running plotly_build(SamplePlot). Trace the ggplot geom_text conversion, focusing on how vjust is handled for bar labels. Done means the built Plotly display preserves the vertical alignment shown by ggplot.
