scatter plot with non-overlapping labels #34

Open vnijs opened 9 years ago

vnijs commented 9 years ago

Creating a scatter plot in ggplot2 with non-overlapping labels is not straightforward. However, it seems like this might be easier to do in javascript.

I found a couple of links (see below) that might be useful but no packages on GitHub (yet). The second link is for a word-cloud so only indirectly relevant. Have you seen anything like this?

FYI These are the types of plots I would use this for.
