Hi,
Is it possible to display double dot (umlaut) over a character such as would be
possible using \ddot x in LaTeX? I can do this using tikzDevice but I wanted
something simpler to point to.
Here is an example of what I would like to do, but it is not quite there:
require(ggplot2)
data<-as.data.frame(c("a","b","c","a","b","c"))
colnames(data)<-"Y"
data$X<-c(1:6)
data$Z<-c(1,2,3,1,2,3)
ggplot(data, aes(x=X)) + geom_line(aes(y = Z), size=0.43) +
xlab(expression(atop(top,bold(Age~"?"))))
I would like to put in a double dot over the "a" in the x-axis instead
of "`".
Many thanks for any suggestions and best wishes,
Ranjan

I use Fedora 25 but the student I wanted to show this uses Ubuntu, though I don't know if the distribution matters. Thanks again for your help, and best wishes, Ranjan
