You could use something like this:


#Generate 26 simulated data points

y=rnorm(26)
x=1:26
your.labels=letters
#Plot data

plot(x, y, xlim=c(min(x), max(x)+.25), ylim=c(min(y), max(y)+.25))
#Label points

text(x+.15, y+.15, your.labels)



You could also use the textxy function in the calibrate package as show here:  http://www.r-bloggers.com/r-tutorial-series-labeling-data-points-on-a-plot/.

Subject: [R] How to Label Cases in Scatterplots?

Hi everyone,

i´m trying to graphically display distributions with r and i´m working with
makrodata from the WVS.

the command i´m using is
                                                      
> plot (Makrodata$v11, Makrodata$v12, xlab="Democracy Score Economist",
> ylab= share religious people")


i´m having an additional variable that identifies respectively labels the
cases with its country name.
how can i implement that variable, so it identifies the various cases in the
scatterplot and looks like the spss screenshot i posted below?

thanks in advance!
