Bug 7084 - text(x, y, labels) - recycling problems

[hturner]

Currently text() recycles coordinate pairs when there are more labels than points to plot them at. For example:

plot(1:7); text(1:2, 2:4, LETTERS[1:4])

results in

where "D" is plotted on top of "A" because four labels have been provided (A, B, C, D) but only 3 points ((1, 2), (2, 3), and (1, 4) - the x coordinates are recycled to match the length of y).

This task is to modify text() to drop extra labels with a warning as proposed at the end of Bug 7084.

I'd be happy to take a look at this at the next opportunity, if it doesn't get resolved at LatinR.
