title: Using segment labels in ggplot with ggrepel with smooth segments
body: <p>This is my dataframe:</p>
  <pre><code>df&lt;-structure(list(year = c(1984, 1984), team = c(&quot;Australia&quot;, &quot;Brazil&quot;
  ), continent = c(&quot;Oceania&quot;, &quot;Americas&quot;), medal = structure(c(3L, 
  3L), .Label = c(&quot;Bronze&quot;, &quot;Silver&quot;, &quot;Gold&quot;), class = &quot;factor&quot;), 
      n = c(84L, 12L)), row.names = c(NA, -2L), class = c(&quot;tbl_df&quot;, 
  &quot;tbl&quot;, &quot;data.frame&quot;))
  </code></pre>
  <p>And this is my ggplot (my question is related to the annotations regard Brazil label):</p>
  <pre><code>ggplot(data = df)+
    geom_point(aes(x = year, y = n)) + 
    geom_text_repel(aes(x = year, y = n, label = team),
                    size = 3, color = 'black',
                    seed = 10,
                    nudge_x = -.029,
                    nudge_y = 35,
                    segment.size = .65,
                    segment.curvature = -1,
                    segment.angle = 178.975,
                    segment.ncp = 1)+ 
    coord_flip() 
  </code></pre>
  <p>So, I have a segment divided by two parts. On both parts I have 'small braks'. How can I avoid them?</p>
  <p>I already tried to use <code>segment.ncp</code>, change <code>nudge_x</code>or <code>nudge_y</code>nut its not working.</p>
  <p>Any help?</p>
