[R] Interactively editing point labels in a graph

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Create your plot and save it in wmf format, e.g.

DF <- as.data.frame(state.x77)
plot(Income ~ log(Population), DF, pch = 20)
with(DF, text(log(Population), Income, rownames(state.x77), cex = 0.5, pos = 4))
savePlot("states.wmf")

Then insert it into Microsoft Word, right click the image, choose Edit
and you can edit all the text labels.

The graph aspect ratio is relevant (it needs to be mantained). And I'm working with Windows XP.
