I'd like to make axis titles, chart titles, legends and the like
mathematically nice (e.g., have proper superscripts and subscripts,
variables in italics, and so on). Ideally, one could go into ``math mode"
a la LaTeX, and write something like
plot(blah, xlab="Methane in $\mbox{cm}^3$ / g", blah).
This is just an ideal, but it would be nice. Is some approximation of this
functionality available in R (or indeed, in S Plus)?
Thanks a lot,
Steve

You use the expression function to indicate you want to use a LaTeX-like language. Try example(text) in R to see some examples. -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
