Hi I seem to have a problem getting both a subscript and a % symbol on a label ylab=expression(S/S[MSY] (* plain(%) * )) or ylab=expression(S/S[MSY] (%) ) and many variants gives a syntax error ylab=paste(expression(S/S[MSY]), "(%)", sep="") yields the % symbol but no subscripts If I leave out the %, I get the subscript OK Advice greatly appreciated Regards Peter -- Dr Peter Baker, Statistician (Bioinformatics/Genetics), CSIRO Mathematical & Information Sciences, 233 Middle St/ PO Box 120, CLEVELAND, QLD 4163 Australia.

The first two are not valid since for one thing a % by itself is not possible in R syntax - also, a "*" immediately after a left parenthesis is surely wrong. The third one results from pasting an expression and a character string, which gives a character string, and no math plotting. Did you mean expression(S/S[MSY] * "%") -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
