R help - Jun 2005 - ts.plot data labels

Dear R users,
I am trying to put labels on the data points on a ts.plot.
 
I have tried:
ts.plot(df.ts, gpars=list(xy.labels=colnames(df.ts), xlab="group",
ylab="level"))
which plots fine but gives no labels
 
xy.labels=TRUE 
also plots without labels
 
I also tried using text() but got an error 
 
Error in xy.coords(x, y, recycle = TRUE) : 
        Argument "x" is missing, with no default


Thanks,
Beth

"xy.labels" is not a valid parameter for ts.plot;it is for plot.ts
(the
plot method for ts objects). Please re-read the Help files and note the
difference between them.

Try using text.  See ?ts.plot and ?text for more info:

ts.plot(ts(1:26), type = "p", gpars = list(pch = 20))  # points
text(1:26, 1:26, letters, offset = 0.2, cex = .5, pos = 1) # letters
below points
