hello all, I'm overlaying numerous scatter plots onto a map (done in PBSmodelling). In this case I'm placing each plot by setting par(fig) to the centroid of map polygons. The location/mapping part is not so important. There are cases of small overlaps for some plots (ie figures) so I'm keen to write or find a function that moves my small scatter plots so they don't overlap. A little like jitter, but not random in behaviour, it needs to move away from the plots it's overlapping. thanks to all Michael

I would investigate the subplot() function in Greg Snow's TeachingDemos package, possibly in conjunction with his updateusr() function. For interactive placement of figures, it should be possible to use locator() to place each plot. Peter Ehlers
Thanks very much Peter, That may be a good start. Though I am aiming for automation and would prefer to avoid the locator function. I'll take a look...

Hi Michael: I am not totally certain what you are trying to do, but Hadley Wickham and a student have been working on a package that allows a variety of plots to be added to maps. Examples can be found in this paper in Environmetrics :
Glyph-maps for visually exploring temporal patterns in climate data and models(pages 382?393) Hadley Wickham, Heike Hofmann, Charlotte Wickham and Dianne Cook Article first published online: 5 JUL 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/env.2152
I believe an earlier version is available at Wickham's web page. When I asked him about the packages he used to make the plots, he wrote:
All code and data for that article is available at https://github.com/ggobi/paper-climate. My student Garrett has also been working on a generalisation of the glyph map ideas. His R package is at https://github.com/garrettgman/ggplyr and I've attached the corresponding paper (in submission to JCGS). I mention it mainly because the code might be in a form that's easier to reuse for your purposes.
HTH, -Roy

I'm very grateful!
