Hi, I suggest to use geom_text to add multiple labels. Put all the information needed by for your labels in a dataframe:
lab = data.frame(x=namposts+2.5, y = temprange[2], label= mlabs) and add them to the plot: p + geom_text(data=lab,aes(x,y,label=label), size=2.5,colour='black', hjust = 0, vjust = 0) regards, Stefan On Sun, Feb 28, 2010 at 01:25:15PM -0800, John Kane wrote: > I had a problem annotating a graph last year ( see > http://n4.nabble.com/Putting-names-on-a-ggplot-td907158.html#a907158 > for the discussion) > > Stefan (smu) provided a solution using annotate().
