I am learning R and relatively quite new to R. I am generating a scatter-plot 
as given below. (My actual table is much larger).



# Sample data frame


y = c(20, 23, 17, 31, 68)
x = c(200, 300, 400, 500, 600)

plot(x, y, type = 'l')

If I plot this scatter-plot in excel, the data values are displayed if I place 
the cursor at some desired place of the graph. E.g. if I place the cursor say 
at the point (400, 31), then the value (400, 31) is displayed.

My question(s) are


 easily answered by looking at the help pages.


(A) once I plot a graph in R, is it possible to display a particular (x, y) 
co-ordinate by placing the cursor there?


?locator


Shouldn't that be ?identify?
And the OP might also want to check out the HWidentify/HTKidentify
functions in the TeachingDemos package.

(B) Suppose I have 100 pairs of (x, y ). then is it possible to display  in the 
graph (irrespective of the curosr position) the values of (x,  y) corresponding 
to say 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th etc. observations in the graph.

[R] Display of data points in the Scatterplot

2012-12-19 Thread Katherine Gobin
Respected R forum

I am learning R and relatively quite new to R. I am generating a scatter-plot 
as given below. (My actual table is much larger).



# Sample data frame


y = c(20, 23, 17, 31, 68)
x = c(200, 300, 400, 500, 600)

plot(x, y, type = 'l')

If I plot this scatter-plot in excel, the data values are displayed if I place 
the cursor at some desired place of the graph. E.g. if I place the cursor say 
at the point (400, 31), then the value (400, 31) is displayed.

My question is 


(A) once I plot a graph in R, is it possible to display a particular (x, y) 
co-ordinate by placing the cursor there?

(B) Suppose I have 100 pairs of (x, y ). then is it possible to display  in the 
graph (irrespective of the curosr position) the values of (x,  y) corresponding 
to say 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th etc. observations in the graph.
