Exercise

Add arrows to the lines in the plot

Instead of labeling years, use the arrow argument of the geom_path() call to show the direction of change. The arrows will point from 1996 to 2006, because that's how the data set is ordered. The arrow() function takes two arguments: The first is length, which can be specified with a unit() call, which you might remember from previous exercises. The second is type which defines how the arrow head will look.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Use the arrow argument and an arrow() function call to add arrows to each line.
  • For the arrows, specify a length of 1.5 "mm" (with a unit() call) and a type of "closed".
