R help - Jun 2011 - How to add label to lines()

I am plotting a number of lines on a standard plot.  I would like to add 
labels at the end (rhs) of each line.  is there a way to do this other 
than defining the individual xy coordinates and placing each label using 
text()

Thanks

Probably, but what you describe is the best way.

Without an example it is difficult to know if your coding is  
efficient. The text fn is vectorized, so there may be a one-liner that  
does what you could be currently doing piecemeal.

plot(1,1)
  for( b in 1-(1:5)/20) abline(a=0,b=b)
  text(1.4, 1.4*(1-(1:5)/20), as.character(1-(1:5)/20) )
