I have a ggplot2 plot as follows:
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), fill=factor(cyl))) +
geom_bar() +
coord_flip() +
theme(legend.position = 'top') +
guides(fill = guide_legend(title=NULL))
I'd like add spacing between the fill elements as follows:
422
Let’s continue… If we want to add additional white space between our legend items, we can use the legend.spacing.x argument within the theme function. Consider the following R programming code: Figure 2: ggplot2 Plot with Increased Spacing Between Legend Items. Compare Figure 1 with Figure 2.
How to create horizontal legend using ggplot2 in R? How to create horizontal legend using ggplot2 in R? The default legend direction is vertical but it can be changed to horizontal as well and for this purpose we can use legend.direction argument of theme function of ggplot2 package.
To add spacing between entries in a legend, adjust the margins of the theme element legend.text. To add 30pt of space to the right of each legend label (may be useful for a horizontal legend): To add 30pt of space to the left of each legend label (may be useful for a vertical legend):

The issue mentioned by alistaire and Tyler Rinker was solved. Now we can adjust the margins of the element_text`.
ggplot(mtcars, aes(factor(cyl), fill = factor(cyl))) +
geom_bar() +
coord_flip() +
theme(
legend.position = 'top',
legend.title = element_blank(),
legend.text = element_text(margin = margin(r = 2, unit = 'cm'))
)
