Goal: adjust overlapping 'text' items in plot so they are legible I have located 'space' as one possible technique for decluttering text positions on a plot. I would rather not jitter the plot point, just the text nearby. Are there other techniques or functions available that declutters a plot using 'text'? Perhaps an arrow or a line to the plot mark could be used to lead to the text item. The following will demo...

...##function execution can't be more than one per code chunk). The nearest workaround would mean saving each graphical output as a image and reinserting the stored image of plots through multiple ##code chunks or a code chunk executing image insert in loops.. a bit tedious i suppose!). ## Decluttering overlapping labels produced by plot.MCA and plot.MFA function in SensoMineR (Refer the functions plot.MCA2 and plot.MFA2 for this feature) ##The fastmod function includes a call to plot.MCA2 and plot.MFA2 as well so the final output is also decluttered of overlapping labels, however before...
