I can do this fine for one polygram BUT a for-loop fails.The concept is multiple lines within each polygon. I am doing something sub-genius. ONE POLYGON plot(all_pcts_osm_sp[i,], add = FALSE, lwd=.5, border='blue') hght <- strheight("Here") MyLines <- list( bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$PCT[i]) ), bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$First_Name[i]) ), bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$Last_Name[i]) ), bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$Phone) )) text( all_pcts_osm_sp[i,]@polygons[[ 1 ]]@labpt[[1]], all_pcts_osm_sp[i,]@polygons[[ 1 ]]@labpt[[2]] - (hght * 1.5 * seq(length(MyLines))), do.call(expression, MyLines)) ALL POLYGONS JUST DO NOT WORK. PUZZLED? Help me please. Also ultimate target is an OpenStreet ("OSM") backdrop. tmp_sp_length <- length(all_pcts_osm_sp) i = 1 for(i in 1:tmp_sp_length) { hght <- strheight("Here") MyLines <- list( bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$PCT[i]) ), bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$First_Name[i]) ), bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$Last_Name[i]) ), bquote( .(all_pcts_osm_sp$Phone) )) text( all_pcts_osm_sp[i,]@polygons[[ 1 ]]@labpt[[1]], all_pcts_osm_sp[i,]@polygons[[ 1 ]]@labpt[[2]] - (hght * 1.5 * seq(length(MyLines))), do.call(expression, MyLines)) } All your comments, ideas, and thoughts are appreciated.

Setup for the OSM Map is below ul <- as.vector(cbind(bbox(all_pcts_osm_sp) [2,2], bbox(all_pcts_osm_sp) [1,1])) lr <- as.vector(cbind(bbox(all_pcts_osm_sp) [2,1], bbox(all_pcts_osm_sp) [1,2])) map_types <- c("osm", "maptoolkit-topo", "waze", "mapquest", "mapquest-aerial", "bing", "stamen-toner", "stamen-terrain", "stamen-watercolor", "osm-german", "osm-wanderreitkarte", "mapbox", "esri", "esri-topo", "nps", "apple-iphoto", "skobbler", "opencyclemap", "osm-transport", "osm-public-transport", "osm-bbike", "osm-bbike-german") MyMap <- openmap(ul,lr, zoom = NULL, minNumTiles = 16L, type map_types[1] ,mergeTiles = TRUE) # now plot the layer and the backdrop par(mar = c(0,0,0,0)) plot(MyMap) plot(spTransform(all_pcts_osm_sp, osm()), add = FALSE, lwd=.5, border='blue') [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
