R help - Feb 2018 - Identify does sort the locations

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your answer. I am wondering if in the previous versions, 
let's say 2.1x, the data were in the selection order... Let me know if 
there a R fonction taht I can code. Do you think I should use locator 
function and match points on my own?

Best,
Samuel

Hi

Sorry, I think this has always been the behaviour (and the documentation 
has always been wrong).

Using locator() yourself could be a workaround (with a little more 
effort required to determine the closest data point).

Thanks Paul. I have started using locator().

I also found the gatepoints package that sounds interestering.

Happy R,
