similar to: Getting theta in italic in a plot

Hi, Could someone please let me know how to plot greek letters in italic. text(0,14,expression(italic(rho)[italic(f)])) only plots the f in italic and text(37,40,expression(italic(rho))) doesn't plot rho in italic. I have checked demo(plotmath), ?plotmath, FAQ, and the archives 2004-2006 without finding the answer. I'm using R 2.1.1. and Windows XP. Thanks! Tord -- Tord Sn?ll

Hi, I need to add on a plot text containing italic Greek characters using the function mtext (i.e. I cannot use Hershey vectors). The characters are nicely displayed when the file is saved as png but not when saved as eps. See code below as example: #postscript('test.eps') png('test.png') plot(1,1, type = 'n') mtext(side = 3, line = 2,

Hello, I have written a function that demonstrates the CLT by generating samples following the exponential distribution, calculating the means, plotting the histogram, and drawing the limiting normal curve as an overlay. I have the title of each histogram state the sample size and rate (1/theta) for the exponential (the output is actually 4 histograms), but I can't get the greek letter theta

Following on from my previous mail! plot(1:10,1:10) mtext("title", side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) This works as expected and puts the font in italics. tag <- "A)" suffix <- "genea::" plot(1:10,1:10) mtext(bquote(.(tag) ~ Delta * .(suffix)), side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) Here, the font isn't in italics, it's normal. I presume this is some

Dear all, I hope to know how to compile the R help file in LaTeX format under Windows 2000. The TeX/LaTeX system is TeXLive 2002, and the version of R is 1.8.x. Another question, I hope to get the upright Greek letters, just as these in Prof. Faraway's book "Practical Regression and Anova in R", but I don't know which package(s) and/or font(s) should be used in LaTeX. Any

Dear expeRts, How can I vertically adjust an axis tick label so that it is nicely aligned with the other labels? library(lattice) xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.1), labels=c(expression(hat(theta)[italic(n)]),expression(theta))))) ## aim: move the leftmost expression up so that theta is nicely aligned with the second theta. Cheers, Marius

Hello, I want to have a title that will look something like: "Results for \theta=2.1", given that I have a variable theta=2.1, and \theta should show on the screen like the greek letter. I've tried a lot of things: theta <- 2.1 plot(1:10, main=expression(paste("Results for", theta, "=", eval(theta)))) or using bquote plot(1:10, main=paste("Results for

Hello there, Is there any way to italicize Greek symbols such as mu in axis? From the help files of mathematical anotations: "Note that bold, italic and bolditalic do not apply to symbols, and hence not to the Greek symbols such as mu which are displayed in the symbol font. They also do not apply to numeric constants.", it seems that it cannot be done. Thanks, Bingzhang Chen

I know that this has been asked before in other variations but I just can't seem to figure out my particular application from previous posts. My apologies if I have missed the answer to this question somewhere in the archives. I have indeed looked. I am running Ubuntu 11.04, with R 2.12.1 and ESS+Emacs. For journal formatting requirements, I need to italicize all the greek letters in any

Dear expeRts, I would like to use expression() for creating labels in a splom, as shown in the first minimal example below. Is there any way I can simplify having to write "expression(italic(...))" several times? The second example is what I tried so far, but I can't manage to get italic() to work. Moreover, it still seems bulky... Cheers, Marius ## minimal example (working but

Dear People, I need to make a label which both contains math notation as well as substitutes a value for an object. In the following label, len and theta are one dim variables, and I am substituting their values appropriately. This label looks fine except that I want the greek symbol for theta to appear instead of the word `theta'. How can I do so most easily? I don't understand the

Hi, I need to italicize the journal in a citation but have thus far failed. How can I make 'Journal of Something' below italic but leave the rest? mtext( "See Author1 and Author2 (2007) , \"Title\", Journal of Something , pp. 1-50.", side = 3, outer = T, line=-0.75, cex = 0.7, at= 0.04, adj = 0, font = 1, family = "Times") -- View this message in

Hi all, I have the following problem: Since R 3.4.0, italic fonts rendered on Cairo devices appear pixelated. Here's a minimal example: cairo_pdf('test.pdf') plot(1:10, ylab=expression(italic(test))) dev.off() The same problem occurs with bolditalic, but not bold. I am using Debian Stretch. Several friends tried the same on their machines, another Debian machine has the same

Hello, I'm trying to add a symbol (Delta) to plot legend with text using "expression(paste())" but this disables the text.font that allows to use bold or italic text. as follows: x=c(1:10) y=c(1:10) plot(x,y) legend(1,10,legend=c("A","B","C",expression(paste(Delta, D))), pch=c(24,18,17,16),cex=2,text.font=3,bty="n") Any suggestion to

Hi R users: How can I obtain an italic font only for one of the two strips in a xyplot? library(lattice) t<-rep(seq(0,10,5),4) logCFU<-c(2,2.5,3,4,4.5,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.4,2,2.5) microorg<-factor(rep(c("E. coli","L. monocytogenes"),each=6)) tratam<-factor(rep(c("t1","t2"),6)) xyplot(logCFU~t|microorg+tratam,type="p",

Dear Wiza[R]ds, I am very grateful to Duncan Murdoch for his assistance with this problem. His help was invaluable. However, the problem has become a little more complicated for me. Now, in each plot, I need to plot the observed and fitted values of a supine and upright posture experiment. Here is what I have and how far I got. # tritiated (3H)-Norepinephrine(NE) disappearance from plasma #

Dear all, I have a vector of expressions and would like to "paste" some string to it before using it in a plot: vars <- vector("expression", 2) vars[1] <- expression(alpha) vars[2] <- expression(beta) plot(0, 0, main=substitute(bold("Foo" ~~ VAR), list(VAR=vars[2]) )) Although I tried hard, I just can't figure out how to solve this. The title should be

I am running 9 negative binomial regressions with count data. The nine models use 9 different dependent variables - items of a clinical screening instrument - and use the same set of 5 predictors. Goal is to find out whether these predictors have differential effects on the items. Due to various reasons, one being that I want to avoid overfitting models, I need to employ identical types of

Hi Ilia, I'm running Arch Linux, R 3.4.0. Here's my test.pdf from your minimal example: https://ptpb.pw/HxsA.pdf It doesn't look pixelated to me... Here's a post that I wrote when I solved my last font problem in R, almost 2 years ago: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40940331/5087283 I had to install some Microsoft font packages, which is sad, because there are some perfectly
