...s not work either. So I need to either (a) print the labels on the plot so that they do not overlap the points or (b) be able to move the text around in the resulting image file. Any advice? Here is the code I am using. BTW, I have also tried ggplot2 but it has no function (that I am aware of) like pointLabels() to avoid label overlap. Please feel free to email me directly. postscript(file="fig_a.eps"); plot(x, y, xlab="X-axis", ylab="Y-axis", cex=0.02*sample_size, pch=21); abline(lm(y~x, weight=sample_size)) pointLabel(x, y, labels=Category, cex=1, doPlot=TRUE, offset=2.5)...

Hi all, I am plotting some data, and use text() to get variable names next to points on the graph. What is the best way to make sure that these text labels are readable and not overlapping when two datapoints are close? I've tried using jitter(), but the effect is random and doesn't always give a good result. Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Best regards, Gustaf Example:

Using pointLabel in the maptools package will plot text labels for points to avoid overlap of text. But is there a way to avoid/minimize overlap of text labels with the outline of an underlying polygon? For example, when plotting location of cities, one would like the text labels to not fall on top of nearby country/state borders, etc. Many thanks, Kevin Ummel Central European University
