I have written code which puts text to the upper right of points on a plot. Some of my point are very close together and the new text is writing over the previous text.

Has anyone written a clever "smart-text" function that writes the text in a blank spot near the point (perhaps on the lower left or lower right side) when it discovers that the new space is not blank.

I could write such a function if there was an is.blank(x,y) command. Does something like that exist?
Hi John,
Have a look at thigmophobe.labels in the plotrix package. That package also contains the emptyspace function that tries to find the largest empty space in a plot. There is an even snazzier empty space function, but I keep forgetting which package it is in...
