Labeling Individual Dots on a ListPlot

[seokin4862 (Seokin Yeh)]

The question is simple, can I label individual data points on a ListPlot, or will I have to resort to Graphics?

Or is there a more apt way to plot a list of points than ListPlot?

Thank You,

You can use PlotMarkers to create individual labels for each point, by breaking the data up into a list of lists:

ListPlot[Table[{{i, i}}, {i, 1, 10}],  PlotMarkers -> CharacterRange["a", "z"]]

This gives you a plot along the lines of this:

Also see this recent thread for an alternative approach if you want labels adjacent to dots for the points

David, you solve all my problems. Thank you,

But for my purpose, I think Nick’s method is the best.

Thank you so very much.
