help with inserting text in a graph

[Antonio P. Ramos]

Hi all,

I am using a very simple code to add a text to a graph:

ggplot(my.subset,aes(time.transit,child_mortality, group=as.factor(country.x),colour=as.factor(my.democracy)))+

  geom_line()  + geom_vline(xintercept = 0,size=1,linetype=2)+   xlab(expression("Years to and from Democratic Transition")) +   

  xlab(expression("Years to and from Democratic Transition")) + m +ylab(expression("Child Mortality Rates")) +

  ylab(expression("Child Mortality Rates")) +  theme(legend.position="none") + 

  geom_text(aes(25, .37, label="Democracy")) + geom_text(aes(-25, .37, label="Dictatorship")) +

  ggtitle("Transitions and  Mortality Trajectories") 

However, geom_text() is producing very ugly results (see attached). Any clue why?

Thanks in advance

Cool!  Checked out ?annotate.
