[R] Text Labels on plots in R

[ggrothendieck@yifan.net]

Suppose

y <- c(5:2,4)
names(y) <- c("Dave", "Tim", "Ian", "Steve", "Paul")

Here are 3 possibilities which are close to what you want:

dotchart(y)            <-- axes are switched from what you specified
plot(as.table(y))   <-- uses vertical bars rather than points
plot( y ~ factor(names(y),levels=names(y)), boxwex = .05)  <-- not so pretty
