[R] Greyed text in the background of a plot

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi!

Is there any way of having a greyed ("ghosted") text
(i.e, 2006) in the background of a plot?
I'm making a dynamic plot and would like to show the
year of each time step as a big greyed text in the background.

(the idea comes from Hans Rosling video:

)

Thanks

Agus
