R help - Sep 2009 - Mixed font in lattice xyplot lables

Hi all, can anyone suggest a reason as mto why my xlab is plotting this text
at oposite ends of axis. I would like to represent my lable like this:
Moran's I ...but with the I in italics. For some reason they seperate and
position at oposite ends of the axis??

Thank you

library(lattice)
dat <- data.frame(x = rnorm(10),y = rnorm(10))
xyplot(y ~ x, dat,xlab=expression("Moran's
",italic("I")))

Hi,

I think you are feeding two expressions to xlab instead of one.

Try this instead,

xyplot(y ~ x, dat,xlab=expression("Moran's " * italic(I)))
