Although I see similar, but more complex, questions addressed in the help archive, I'm having trouble adding superscripted text to the y-axis labels of some figures, and I can't find anything in the R documentation on this. I have: ylab="BA (m2/ha)" but I want the "2" to be superscripted. Thanks in advence for the help, or for pointing out the appropriate help file. -Ben Osborne
See ?plotmath.
plot(1:10, 1:10, ylab=expression(BA (m^{2}/ha)))

Ben Others have pointed out plotmath. However, for some superscripts (including 2) it may be easier to use the appropriate escape sequence (at in Windows): ylab = 'BA (m\262/ha)' Cheers ........
