R help - Oct 2009 - superscript in ylab

Dear all

I am doing some plots in R.

I want to have as label in y-axis Temperature (oC). I have used
ylab=expression(paste({Temperature} ^o*C)) but what I get is TemperatureoC.
How can I have a space between Temperature and the units and also the units to
be in brackets?

Many thanks
Maria

Try

ylab=expression(Temperature*degree*C))

type demo(mathplot) at R prompt for more customizations.

First, look at ?plotmath and find the 'degree' symbol...

Then look at the symbol for spacing.

Then try 
ylab=expression(Temperature~degree*C)
