Hi,

Using grid.text(),

library(ggplot2)
print(qplot(1,1), vp=viewport(height=0.8))
grid.text(0.5, unit(1,"npc") - unit(1,"line"), label="I'm (slightly)
out of here!")

HTH,

Thank you very much Baptiste,

I would like to recreate the attached plot. My problem is that I don't
know how to specify the "7.81" in ggplot2.
Best,

Manuel

Why don't you just add a y axis break at this value?

qplot(1:10, 1:10) +
scale_y_continuous(breaks=c(seq(2,10,by=2), 3.14)) +
geom_hline(aes(yintercept=y), data=data.frame(y=3.14), colour="blue")

HTH,
