[pstricks] query from enterline re scatterplot datapoint labeling in pstricks

[Andrew Enterline]

all,

i am grateful to vinay for his advice regarding the scatterplot with
labels.  ultimately, i relied on his idea of using \rput for the labels and
\listplot for the data points, as the  the labels require adjustment,
because they often overlap and are unreadable.  again, thanks to vinay for
his time.

my final code is as follows:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[dvips]{graphics}
\usepackage{pst-all}      % From PSTricks


\newpsobject{showgrid}{psgrid}{subgriddiv=1,griddots=5,gridlabels=.5pt}


\begin{document}

\psset{xunit=1cm,yunit=.125cm} %for 80 year setup

\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(10,80)

%create data series for data points
\def\datab{10  80 4   80 4   75 8   73 3   59 2   50 10  49 7   47 10
