Pressed send too soon (apologies). Meant to say

I have only just discovered the joys of the dotchart (since I am reading
William Cleveland's "The Elements of Graphing Data"). However, I
cannot work
out how to change the alignment of the text labels from left to right.

Regards,
Sean.

Oops replying to the wrong post but anyway
does this do what you want?

aa <- c(3,6,3,5,8)
 lbs <- c('cat','goat', 'elephant', 'horse',
'whale')
dotchart(aa, pch=(16), col = 1:5, main="A Dotchart")
axis(side = 2, seq_along(aa), lbs, las=1)
