Dear r-help,
I'm having trouble formatting xy labels for plot in r. I want to make the
following y-label
"benzene (mug-3)"
where mu is greek and -3 is superscript and benzene is held in an array.
I tried this,
myname = c("benzene", "etc")
plot (c(0:10), ylab = bquote(.(myname[1])~~(mu~g ~m^-3)))
but it leaves a space between the "mu" and the "g".
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your help,
Jennifer
