[R] Recovering x/y coordinates from a scatterplot image

[Greg Snow]

You can do this by reading in the image and plotting it, then use the updateusr function from the TeachingDemos package to set the user coordinates to match the image (use locator to find the current values of some points).  Then you can just use the locator function to get the coordinates of the points.
