Change the way annotate() places text in ggplot2

Question

I am annotating a plot made with ggplot with annotate() as follows:

annotate("text", x = 1, y = 2,label = "TEXT")

When I have multiple annotations with different lengths it is difficult to keep them left-aligned for example, as the x and y coordinates refer to the middle of the string. Is there a way to have the x and y coordinates refer to the left-hand side of the string?

Do you mean `hjust = 0`? – teunbrand Oct 28 '21 at 12:55
