[R] plots - scatterplots - find index of a point in a list

Hi, is it possible to find the index of a point of a plot (e.g. scatterplot) in an easy way? Eg. x <- c(1:5); y <- c(1:5); plot(x, y); On the plot if I move my cursor on top of a point or click on it is it possible to have its index printed or its exact value? Any clues? Thanks. [[alte

Looks like you are reading manuals and these mailings insufficiently carefully. ?apply says that if its second argument is 1, it gives you what you want. Gabor Csardi has also written you this. If you have several vectors, not a single matrix, you can use pmin: pmin(a[1,],a[2,],a[3,],a[4,],a[5,
