Is there a way to annotate each point with its id number? I know it seems odd, but that is what we are hoping to display. Thank you

using DataFrames, Gadfly  
df = DataFrame((id = 1:20), value\_x=rand(20)\*100, value\_y = rand(20))  
plot(df, y=:value\_y, x=:value\_x, Geom.point)

I am not sure if this is what you want, but this notebook contains lots of annotations (see towards the middle of the file):
