I really like to use R for all my graphs, and as I work with stable
isotopes I want to have a proper chemical notation in my plots
I have looked at ?plotmath, but didn't find the answer and also searched
the R website.

plot(1:10,xlab=expression(^{14}*C)) # I want to have a superscript with
nothing in front, but it doesn't work
plot(1:10,xlab=expresssion(.^{14}*C)) # this works, but is not
beautiful
Any ideas ?

Isn't there one 's' too much in the expresssion? ;-) Anyway: you want to have the notation without the dot? Why not try: plot(1:10,xlab=expression({ }^{14}*C)) Hope this is what you wanted...or what did you mean by saying "not beautiful"?

From: "Christophe Declercq" <cdeclercq at nordnet.fr>> Try: > > > plot(1:10,xlab=expression(phantom(0)^{14}*C))Just out of interest, how do I find out what phantom(0) does? I tried both ?phantom and help.search("phantom") without getting any hits, and yet the expression posed above creates a leading blank space in the axis label. I take the latter to mean that phantom() is available withinin the basic packages (search path). Where do I read more? Thanks, Rob
