R help - May 2010 - Text positioning in pixel coordinates?

Hello,


the positioning of text elements in a graphics is nortmally
done via x/y coordin ates of the displayed data.

most of the time this is very helpful (and missing in other
programs).

But when I want to set some text into a graphics always at the same position,
this will not be easy...

I might use range() for locating the edges and then go down some percent of the
range or so...

...but maybe there is a better alternative to this approach?
