Hi,
I want to put text on a plot containing something like: a = b^2 = <squared
numeric value of b> using bquote.
Example:
mu = 5
plot(1:10,1:10)
text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2)) # This works
text(2.5,8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) # but is unpredictable
text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 == .(mu^2))) # This doesn't work
The last text function returns the error:
Error: unexpected '==' in " text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2
=="
The first two text functions work in this example, using a default graphics
window on a 64-bit Windows machine, and either R 2.11.0 development edition for
64-bit Windows or R 9.2.2 on the same machine ((x 86)).
I don't mind the two statements except that when trying to automate this by
using the base x coordinate + epsilon*max(x), for example --
x <- 1:10
epsilon=0.05
text(2+esilon*max(x),8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2)))
for the x position on the 2nd text function, the position of the additional text
is not predictable.
Thanks,
Larry Hotchkiss
Try this: text(2,8, bquote(delta~'='~mu^2 == .(mu^2))) On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 6:00 PM, Larry Hotchkiss <larryh at udel.edu> wrote:> Hi, > > I want to put text on a plot containing something like: a = b^2 = <squared numeric value of b> using bquote. > > Example: > > ?mu = 5 > ?plot(1:10,1:10) > ?text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2)) ? ? ? ? ? ?# This works > ?text(2.5,8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) ?# but is unpredictable > > ?text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 == .(mu^2))) # This doesn't work > > The last text function returns the error: > > ? ?

A set of suitably placed braces should clear things up: text(2,8,bquote(delta == {mu^2 == .(mu^2)}))> The first two text functions work in this example, using a default graphics window on a 64-bit Windows machine, and either R 2.11.0 development edition for 64-bit Windows or R 9.2.2 on the same machine ((x 86)). > > I don't mind the two statements except that when trying to automate this by using the base x coordinate + epsilon*max(x), for example -- > > x <- 1:10 > epsilon=0.05 > text(2+esilon*max(x),8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) > > for the x position on the 2nd text function, the position of the additional text is not predictable. > > Thanks, > > Larry Hotchkiss > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.-- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ?ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
