[R] Interactively editing point labels in a graph

[trece por ciento]

Many thanks, Felix
It worked, simply importing the emf into PowerPoint!
By the way, as you are the maintainer of playwith, a question: Why is playwith unable to cope with it?
I liked very much the playwith option because it is easy to use, and has all the basic capabilities that I need.
Best regards,
Hug
