Description
Is there a geom_text_repel equivalent in tmap? I just created the attached map in R with labels resized by the area of the polygons but the names of two polygons are missing because their areas are too small. I would like to create a line segment from the two polygons that points to their names outside the map. Something similar to what was described in this link for ggplot >>> https://github.com/slowkow/ggrepel/issues/89
Does tmap have the functionality to accomplish that? I will appreciate your response.[
