labelling dots in plots

Hello,

I would like to label outliers (or all dots) in a plot

plot(as.matrix(ValAddInd_byYear), as.matrix(Cons_Elec_Ind_byYear))

ideally by the 30 different row.names, but anything else (x or y values, for example)
would already be helpful.
I've tried various things with pch, but they didn't work and I can't find anything else.

Any hint appreciated!
Thanks,

Katrin

Take a look at ?identify

Is this something like what you want?

# make test data
x=1:10;  y=x;  names(y)=letters[1:length(y)]
# Now plot
plot(x, y, pch='', xlab='ValAddInd_byYear',  ylab='Cons_Elec_Ind_byYear')
text(x,names(y),1:length(x),cex=0.6)



HTH,
Rob
