Good evening,
I am trying to add labels to the point of a simple plot, using the
text() function; the problem is that sometimes, if two points are too
close to each other, labels overlap and are no longer readable.
I was wondering whether there are options that I can use to prevent this
overlapping (by, for example, placing labels alternatively above and
below the plotted curve), or whether I should use another set of
graphical functions (grid or lattice packages).
Does anybody have suggestions?
Thank you,
Filippo Biscarini
PS: These are the lines of codes that I have been using to generate the
plot.
plot(
prova$x,
prova$y,
type="b",
mar=c(0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5),
xlab="basepairs",
ylab=""
);
text(
prova$x,
prova$y,
prova$lab,
pos=3,
offset=2,
cex=0.5
);
