Dear R Users,
I'm finding that when I execute the following bit of code, that the new line
argument is actually displayed as text in the graphics device. How do I avoid
this happening?
mtext(side=2, line=5.5, expression(paste("Monthly Summed Runoff
(mm/month)", "/n", "and Summed Monthly Precipitation (mm x
",10^2,"/month)")))
I suspect that I've done, or omitted, something fairly obvious, but as yet
cannot see it!
Thanks for your help,
Steve
