Text over the plot and the margins

Hi,

I am having problem to display text that goes start inside the 
plot but should go over the margins of the plot.

You can have an example of what I mean by looking at the graphs on this 
page:

or

The sunset and sunlight values near the bullets should be displayed but 
they are truncated in the middle.

For what I understand, the "text" method is used to write inside the plot 
area while the "mtext" is used to write in the margins, i.e. outsite the 
plot.

Is there a way to start writing in the plot area and to indicate that if 
the strings goes outside the area, it can continue to write there?

Thanks,

Hi Miguel,

Some sample code would help but I think xpd in ?par
may be what you're looking for however it probably
would be easier/better to set  the xlim values to give
more space on the right hand side of the graph or just
modify the text( at=) value to keep the numbers inside
the plot area.
