Hi,
I've juste read this article about a map published on NYT http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2012/01/nyt-uses-r-to-map-the-1.html The map has been created using R. Actually, the map is all about non-overlapping labels which algorithmic placement. http://revolution-computing.typepad.com/.a/6a010534b1db25970b0168e5b1af04970c-pi The article doesn't mention which function was used to perform this. It just says maptools has been used I just wondered if maptools::pointLabel function allows this kind of process (?)
