R help - Jun 2013 - How to avoid overlapping labels

I ran into a similar problem and wrote a basic package that uses force field
simulation to adjust object location. While much improvement is possible,
including integration with ggplot, etc. it seems to get the task
accomplished. The following illustrates the functionality.  If someone runs
into the issue and searches for an answer, hopefully this will be of some
assistance:

    install.packages("FField")
    library(FField)
    FFieldPtRepDemo()

There were some issues with the CRAN submission and I was confused about
the earlier package availability.  It is available now in source form (
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/FField/index.html)

The sequence for the demo of label repulsion:

install.packages("FField", type = "source")
library(FField)
install.packages("ggplot2")
install.packages("gridExtra")
FFieldPtRepDemo()

The code is quite self-explanatory:

FFieldPtRepDemo

For now there is no intelligent heuristics for a variety of areas and point
distributions as I wanted to get something helpful to folks out quickly but
I'll add these in the medium term.  At this time I recommend scaling charts
to 100x100 dimensions and slightly tweaking the default attraction and
repulsion parameters as warranted.

Thank you,
Greg
