[R] using text() to write into left margin

[Terry J. Westley]

In version 0.63.0 for Win95, I can use text() to
write into the left margin (to the left of the axis)
as follows:

> plot(0:10,0:10,pch="+")
> text(c(1,0.5,0,-0.5,-1),1,"O")

I see 5 "O" symbols at the expected position, two of
which are left of the left axis.

However, in version 0.64.0 for Solaris 2.5.1 on a
Sparc/Ultra2, I only see three "O" symbols.  Those
that are to the left of the axis do not appear.

Is this an expected result?

I am using text() instead of mtext() because I want
the labels to appear at Y co-ordinate positions as
normal text, not rotated 90 deg.  These are text
labels rather than numbers, so I'm suppressing the
left axis and using text() to write the labels.

Even if I can get text() to work as I've come to
expect on the PC, maybe there's a better way I've
missed?
