directlabels documentation

Welcome to the directlabels package documentation website, where you can find illustrations of how to use direct labels in common statistical graphics. Furthermore, you can learn how to construct Positioning Methods by looking at the examples.

All the examples on this site should be directly executable in R after installing and loading the directlabels package. To get started, execute this R code:

## Install required dependencies:
install.packages(c("ggplot2","reshape2","mlmRev","lars","latticeExtra"))
## Install directlabels:
install.packages("directlabels")
## Load it:
library(directlabels)
