Thank you so much for your reply. I apologize for not making my
question clearer.
The problem I have right now is not just a matrix. I have a plot in
which the X and Y are both calculated by other functions before the
plot. After reviewing the plot, there are some areas of the plot
that do not look correct. I just want to know if there's a way to
know what the x and y coordinate of those points are and display
them on the graph if possible. the specific region that I am looking
for is 0<x<1 and y<0.5. Hope this would clarify some confusions.
Thank you again!
Two thoughts
a) which would seem that the blindingly obvious strategy ... no
dataframe? Then make one:
df1 <- data.frame(X =X, Y=Y)
.... and proceed as suggested.
... or try .... still using your original limits:
with(df1[df1$X>5&df1$Y>5, ], text(X, Y,
paste( sprintf(fmt="%0.2f", X), sprintf(fmt="%0.2f", Y) ) ) )
... or print their row numbers ....
df1$Rw <- 1:nrow(df1)
with(df1[df1$X>5&df1$Y>5, ], text( X, Y, paste("row=", Rw) ) )
b) the dataframeless approach: create an index for the joint
conditions on X and Y and then use that index to reference their
values. To use you new conditions, that would be;
idx <- X > 0 & X < 1 & Y < 0.5
plot(X[idx], Y[idx], col="red"")
... or print the (X,Y) values with sprintf as illustrated above.

Hi all,
Is there a quick way to display or recall data points from a
specific region
on the plot? For example I want the points from x>5 and y>5?
Thank you very much!
Your question is pretty light on specifics but assuming that you
have columns x and y in a dataframe, df1, then in ordinary
graphics you could just execute this after another plotting function
has been performed:
with(subset(df1, x>5 & y>5), points(x,y, col="red") )
# I generally make my points smaller with cex=0.2 or cex=0.1
subset(f1, x>5 & y>5)[ , c("x","y")]
# should "recall" the values, if my wetware R interpreter is working
properly.
