R help - Oct 2009 - axis label

Hi all,
I want the y-axis label to be ( in symbols)
g(sigma given alpha)
where given is the conditional sign.
I've tried
ylab=expression(g(sigma|alpha)))
but it gave me
g(|(sigma,alpha))
where the sigma and alpha are in greek but the conditional sign is misplaced
(before the bracket)
Any help would be appreciated.
Maram.

Hi Maram,
How about this?
plot(1, ylab = expression(sigma*"|"*alpha))

HTH,
Jorge

Try this:

plot(0, main = ~ g(sigma * "|" * alpha))
