Hi,

I am having problem to display text that goes start inside the 
plot but should go over the margins of the plot.

You can have an example of what I mean by looking at the graphs on this 
page:

or

The sunset and sunlight values near the bullets should be displayed but 
they are truncated in the middle.

For what I understand, the "text" method is used to write inside the plot 
area while the "mtext" is used to write in the margins, i.e. outsite the 
plot.

Is there a way to start writing in the plot area and to indicate that if 
the strings goes outside the area, it can continue to write there?

Thanks,
