I have been trying to figure out how to get superscript/subscript in the
main title for a plot. I have tried various approaches and suggestions but
none of them work. I am trying to get the following as the main title of my
plot:
Emission of CO2 with time
(but note that 2 is subscript.)
I have tried
plot(main="Emission of C"expression(O[2]) "with time")
and I get error message. I have also tried
plot(main="Emission of C"quote(O[2]) "with time")
I have also tried
plot(main"")
mtext("Emission of C"expression(O[2]) "with time")
I keep getting errors. I have searched the archives but none of the threads
seem to touch upon this. I would appreciate any suggestion. Regards,
Tariq

Try this: plot(1:10, main = expression(Emission~of~CO[2]~with~time)) On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 5:31 PM, Tariq Perwez <tariq.perwez@gmail.com> wrote:> I have been trying to figure out how to get superscript/subscript in the > main title for a plot.

Hi Tariq,
try:
plot(x,y,main=expression("Emission of CO"[2]*" with time"))
Cheers,
Christoph
