arrangement of crowded labels
-----Original Message----- I'm looking for algorithms that assist in spreading out crowded labels, e.g. labels of points in a scatter plot, in order to obtain a nicer visual appearance and better legibility. I'm probably just stuck because I didn't find the right key words for a successful search on the R websites or in the mailing list archives.

Try thigmophobe.labels in the plotrix package.

Look at the spread.labs and the dynIdentify and TkIdentify functions in the TeachingDemos package.
Thanks for your answers. This was almost what I was looking for, except that I would need something for a 2-dimensional context (my question was not specific enough). Best wishes /thomas
