Hi,


I've juste read this article about a map published on NYT
http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2012/01/nyt-uses-r-to-map-the-1.html

The map has been created using R. Actually, the map is all about
non-overlapping labels which algorithmic placement.

The article doesn't mention which function was used to perform this. It
just says maptools has been used

I just wondered if maptools::pointLabel function allows this kind of
process (?)


Best,

Mathieu
