R help - Aug 2009 - boxplot( ) headers with Greek letters, values, and text

Hi -

I've been using the option 

main=bquote(paste(mu==.(mu),", ",lambda==.(lambda),",
",truncation==.(truncation),", ",N[T]==.(n)))

to produce a title when using the "plot" command - a title which
includes variable names (two Greek)
along with their values.

The above option, however, does not work within the "boxplot" command.

Any suggestions on how I can produce the same title using the boxplot command?

Thank you,

Roger

If you use LaTeX you could try the tikzDevice package (
https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/tikzdevice/ ).  In that case you
would use:

main = paste('\\mu =',mu,', \\lambda =',lambda,', truncation
=',truncation,
', N_T =',n)

a full example is:

tikz('myplot.tex')
boxplot(rnorm(100), main = paste('\\mu =',mu,', \\lambda
=',lambda,',
truncation =',truncation, ', N_T =',n))
dev.off()

And in a tex file:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
    \begin{figure}
        \centering
        \input{myplot.tex}
        \caption{}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}


and the symbols would get typeset by latex.

P.S. I am one of the authors of this package, so this post is a bit self
serving but we just released a beta version and are trying to get the word
out.

Try this:

boxplot(1:5, main = bquote(mu == .(mu) * "," ~ lambda == .(lambda) *
"," ~ trunction == .(truncation) * "," ~ N[T] == .(n)))
