geom_marquee() or element_marquee() does not render

[alejandrohagan]

Hi,

when I run the below example code I get an error message and while the ggplot renders the geom does not display anything.

Similar when I use element_marque() to change the labels, the underlying element does not render.

Warning message:
In drawDetails.GridGroup(x, recording = FALSE) : Group definition failed

library(tidyverse)
library(marquee)


cars <- sub("(\\w+)", "{.red ***\\1***}", rownames(mtcars))


ggplot(mtcars) + aes(disp, mpg, label = cars) + 
  geom_marquee()

The warning message is a bug in RStudio that shouldn't affect the output. If you are using ragg in the plot pane try to update that. My work on marquee uncovered some issues there that were fixed in the last release
