R help - Mar 2006 - how to make some characters in the xlab of a plot to be superscripted or subscript?

Dear R-users,

I am trying to make my plot nicer. Does anyboby know how to make some characters
in the xlab of a plot to be superscripted or subscript? ?
for example "m3/s" in the x-axis label, how to make 3 supersripted?

Best,Jing

See ?plotmath.

plot(1:10, xlab = expression(m^3/5))

or

plot(1:10, xlab = expression(over(m^3, 5)))

HTH,

--sundar

Hi

see
?plotmath

# not tested
expression(paste("m^3, "/s"))

but I do not know how / is printed.
