Dear all,

How can I plot the data below with scatter plot
so that the next to the marker it contain the label for "species"

__DATA__
class true_hits false_hits species
big      2350        180   lion
big       375         20   dog
big       635         97   cow
big        78          4   horse
big       694         93   giraffe


I am stuck with the following construct:

dat <-read.delim("mydata_data.txt")
rl <- dat[dat$class%in%"big",]

plot(rl$true_hits,rl$false_hits, pch=pch_list[["big"]],
xlab="# True Hits", ylab="# False Hits",bg="red")

fdata <- read.table(textConnection(f), sep=" ", header=TRUE)

par(bg="red")

with(fdata, plot(true_hits, false_hits,
xlab="# True Hits", ylab="# False Hits"))

with(fdata, text(x=true_hits, y=false_hits, labels=species,
pos=c(2,4,2,4,4)))
