geom_text cannot change vertical or horizontal alignment about plotnine HOT 4 CLOSED

I presume you do not want to read va from a column 'top' of your dataframe.
If so, you need to pass it outside of the aes.

from plotnine.

The docs on geom_text specify to put it in the aes field: https://plotnine.readthedocs.io/en/v0.12.4/generated/plotnine.geoms.geom_text.html#plotnine.geoms.geom_text

If I put the va="top" in the geom_text call, then all the text is place at the default location: "center".

from plotnine.

Each mapping can be either sourced from the underlying dataframe (with an 'aesthetic' = aes() call), or set to a constant value by being passed 'on the outside'.

See for example the label being set to the constant 'name' (below).

At least in my version (0.12.2), the text does shift:

I see, I was confused about the meaning of the positions (i.e., "top" puts the label below the point). Thanks for helping out!
