[R] Adding a table to a plot

[John Kane]

Here is the brute force method.  It would probably not
be very difficult to turn in into a function. In fact
I am pretty sure that someone has but I cannot find
what package it is in.

x <- "Time   SD   Mean
   1    2.5   30
   2    a.3   40"
xx <- read.table(textConnection(x), header=TRUE,
as.is=TRUE); xx

plot(1:10, type="n" )
text(c(1.2, 2, 3), 8, labels=names(xx), cex=.7)
arrows(.75,7.75, 3.5, 7.75, length=0)
text(c(1.2, 2, 3), 7.5, labels=xx[1,], cex=.7)
text(c(1.2, 2, 3), 7.0, labels=xx[2,], cex=.7)
arrows(.75, 6.75,3.5, 6.75, length=0)
