Hi Jurgens, In the following post I show how to use balloonplot from qplots to do more or less what you ask: http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/02/nutritional-supplements-efficacy-score-graphing-plots-of-current-studies-results-using-r/
p.s: the code has a slight modification to it, so to handle overlapping texts. Dear Jim, I'd be happy if some of it might be considered into the official release.
