R help - Oct 2012 - Expression in legend of plot

I would like to have an expression f^(-1)(x) in a legend of plot. For this I
used expression(f^{-1}(x)), but  variable is always in exponent. How could I
change it in order to (x) be in a line, not in exponent?
Thank you for your responses!

Hello,

Use an asterisk to put a space between the exponent an (x).

plot(1, main =  expression(f^{-1}*(x)))

Hope this helps,

... and note that the "{" ,"}" are unnecessary:
> plot(1, main =  bquote(f^-1*(x)))
