Dear R-help, I seem to recall that I can use "\t" to get tab in a string on a graphics device, but it doesn't seem to work. Try: lab <- "a\tb\tc" cat(lab, "\n") # works in the console output plot(1:5, main=lab) # no tabs in the title text(3, 3, lab) # no tabs in the text I get the same result both in the windows() and pdf() devices. Any ideas?
