## Add Text to a Plot

## Usage

    text (x, ...)
    text.default (x, y = NULL, labels = seq(along = x), adj = NULL, ...)

## Arguments

`x, y` | numeric vectors of coordinates where the text `labels` should be written. If the length of `x` and `y` differs, the shorter one is recycled.
`labels` | character or expression with the text to be written.
`adj` | character or expression with the text to be written.
`...` | further graphical parameters (from `par`), such as `cex`, etc.

## Description

`text` draws the strings given in the vector `labels` at the coordinates given by `x` and `y`. `y` may be missing since `xy.coords(x,y)` is used for construction of the coordinates.

## Details

`labels` must be of type `character` or `expression`. In the latter case, quite a bit of mathematical notation is available such as sub- and superscripts, greek letters, fractions, etc.

`adj` allows adjustment of the text with respect to `(x,y)`.

## See Also

`mtext`, `title`.

## Examples

    plot(-1:1,-1:1, type = "n", xlab = "Re", ylab = "Im")
    K <- 16; text(exp(1i * 2 * pi * (1:K) / K), col = 2)

    plot(1:10, 1:10, main = "text(..) examples\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~",
         sub = "R is GNU ©, but not ® ..")
    mtext("«ISO-accents»: ± éè øØ å<Å æ<Æ", side=3)
    points(c(6,2), c(2,1), pch = 3, cex = 4, col = "red")
    text(6, 2, "the text is CENTERED around (x,y) = (6,2) by default",
         cex = .8)
    text(2, 1, "or Left/Bottom - JUSTIFIED at (2,1) by `adj = c(0,0)'",
         adj = c(0,0))
    text(4, 9, expression(hat(beta) == (X^t * X)^{-1} * X^t * y))
    text(4, 8.4, "expression(hat(beta) == (X^t * X)^{-1} * X^t * y)", cex = .6)
    text(4, 7, expression(bar(x) == sum(frac(x[i], n), i==1, n)))
    text(4, 6.4, "expression(bar(x) == sum(frac(x[i], n), i==1, n))", cex = .6)
    text(8, 5, expression(paste(frac(1, sigma*sqrt(2*pi)), " ",
                                plain(e)^{frac(-(x-mu)^2, 2*sigma^2)})))

    text(5,10.2,"Le français, c'est façile: Règles, Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité..")
    text(5,9.8, "Jetz no chli züritüütsch: (noch ein bißchen Zürcher deutsch)")
