Re: histogram with color fill, abbreviated names in blocks, and full names in the legend

[Ista Zahn]

Hi David,

You tell geom_text to use the sf_dataset. Is there a abbr column in
df_dataset? You only say there is such a variable in enf_dataset.

Hope this helps,
Ista

Ah, sorry I didn't pick up the the key part of the question earlier. I
don't think what you propose will work, because it's not clear where
the labels should go. But there error message wasn't very helpful!

Maybe if you explain in more detail what you are trying to accomplish,
and provide a reproducible example (see
https://github.com/hadley/devtools/wiki/Reproducibility for help with
this) we can point you in the right direction.

Best,
Ista
