Dear List,
Is there a possibility to change the font-face for a part of the title
of a plot?
For example I have the following...
plot(nirs, type="l", xlab="Wellenl?nge [nm]",
col="darkslategray",
main = "Spektrum Deschampsia caespitosa")
...and I would like to change the part of the title-string "Deschampsia
caespitosa" to italics? Is that possible? If yes, how?
The only possibility which came to my mind was "tricking" with the
subtitle or with using text()...but that would be ugly...
System: Both Linux and Windows, R-Version 2.7.1
Thanks in advance,
Albin Blaschka

See ?title where its mentioned that calls are ok and a formula is a call. Actually the first ~ is not needed since its already a formula.
