增加ggplot2中图例项之间的空格

我的问题是this question的扩展。请注意,我使用的是github上提供的版本2.3.0,尚未在CRAN上使用。

library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame("Categories" = rep(c("A", "B", "C"), 3),  
                 "values" = c(rep(0.39, 3), rep(0.37, 3), rep(0.24, 3)),
                 "X" = 1:9)

ggplot(df, aes(x = X, y = values, colour = Categories)) +
  geom_line() +
  theme(
        legend.position = "top",
        legend.spacing.x = unit(2, unit = "cm"),
        legend.title = element_blank()
        ) 

上面的代码创建了这个图。

我想将图例标签(A,B,C)移近其相应的图标,如下面的红色箭头所示,这将在图例类别之间创建更多的空白。我该怎么做?

一种可能的解决方法是使用stringr::str_pad

Categories右侧添加额外的空格
library(ggplot2)

df <- data.frame("Categories" = rep(c("A", "B", "C"), 3),  
                 "values" = c(rep(0.39, 3), rep(0.37, 3), rep(0.24, 3)),
                 "X" = 1:9)

# define a custom function
str_pad_custom <- function(labels){
  new_labels <- stringr::str_pad(labels, 10, "right")
  return(new_labels)
}

ggplot(df, aes(x = X, y = values, colour = Categories)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_color_brewer(labels  = str_pad_custom,
                     palette = "Dark2") +
  theme(
    legend.position = "top",
    legend.key.width = unit(1.0,  unit = "cm"),
    legend.spacing.x = unit(0.25, unit = "cm"),
    legend.title = element_blank()
  )
