[R] funtion equivalent of jitter to move figures on device

[Roy Mendelssohn - NOAA Federal]

Hi Michael:  

I am not totally certain what you are trying to do, but Hadley Wickham and a student have been working on a package that allows a variety of plots to be added to maps.  Examples can be found in this paper in Environmetrics :

> Glyph-maps for visually exploring temporal patterns in climate data and models(pages 382–393)
> Hadley Wickham, Heike Hofmann, Charlotte Wickham and Dianne Cook
> Article first published online: 5 JUL 2012 | DOI: 10.1002/env.2152
> 


I believe an earlier version is available at Wickham's web page.  When I asked him about the packages he used to make the plots, he wrote:

HTH,
