Hi
The text() function has a "pos" argument for positioning labels "beside" (x,y) locations.
Do you know about the legend() function for creating a key?

I already tried this but encountered a number of problems - firstly the point labels overlie the actual points meaning the labels are unreadable..and I was hoping to have a separate key within which to describe the labels, is this feasible?

Laura,
For your axis issues, look at plotting without axes [plot(....,axes=F) and then see ?axis for making them on your own. As for labeling your data, look at ?points and ?text.

I am generating a simple x,y plot to show geographical positions where point data has been taken. Rather than plot a graph and lay points on top I've opted to generate the map from the point data, ie plot(-x,-y). This works fine, though I am wanting to label each point 1:20 and have a key alongside - is this possible without getting into trellis plots? I have very limited time available so don't want to embark on trellis functions which I've never used before..
Also, my x,y labels currently have a negative sign in front of them which I'd like to remove, but if I negate the labels they no longer fit on the graph as my data points are -x and -y...
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Laura
