[R] Can I increase the size of an asterisk in plotmath()?
I am trying to plot an expression of the form "p^*" --- a bold letter p with the asterisk as a superscript. I can get *something* with code of the form plot(1:10) text(7.5,2.5,expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) but the asterisk that appears is *tiny*. Is there any way to increase its size? (I expect not, but I just thought I'd ask!) cheers, Rolf Turner -- Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276

Rolf, text(7.5,2.5,expression(paste(bolditalic(p),"*", sep = ""))) looks quite nice. On my Mac at least.

On my Mac at least.<SNIP> Well, it didn't look nice on my laptop. The asterisk was nearly invisible. cheers, Rolf -- Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276
