Hi Remko,

thanks for your answer. but i do
not really understand how to use the commands.
if i want to use  thigmophobe.labels(x,y,)   do i need to identify the xy
coordinates for each point first and then manually move every point? and if
i neet to do so how to use the identify() function?
or is there any possibility to automatically place the labels in the best
position?

MatArab<- as.matrix(ende[2:12])
MatArab
MCAArab<- mjca(MatArab, nd = 2, lambda = "JCA", maxit = 50, epsilon =
0.0001)
  >plot(MCAArab, dim = c(1,2), map = "symmetric", centroids = TRUE,
  + what = c("none", "all"), mass = c(FALSE, FALSE),
  + contrib = c("none", "none"), col = c("#000000", "#FF0000"))

Hi john55,
Looking at your example, it is clear that thigmophobe.labels will not get all of the labels right. However, it would only be necessary to manually change a few label positions to get it right. Say your coordinates are labelled "x" nd "y". First get the offsets:

textpos<-thigmophobe(x,y)

I count eight labels that need to be moved. Take the two overlapping labels at about x=c(-0.75,-0.55) and y=c(0.2,0.2). These two will probably be left overlapping by thigmophobe, probably both with a textpos value of 4. Change the textpos value of the leftmost label to 2. Then replot with thigmophobe labels using text.pos=textpos. Do the same for the other labels until none overlap.

If this is too much trouble, try the spread.lab function in the TeachingDemos package. It is a better algorithm, but not as easy to call as thigmophobe.
