Dear Sweave and R aficionados, I am using R and Latex for many years, writing texts in greek. I tried to combine them with Sweave, but without any success. Could you provide me with any help? Usually my LaTeX files are like this iso-8859-7 encoded .tex file: http://costis.name/0various/lists/R/sweave/successful.greek.tex , which happily produces http://costis.name/0various/lists/R/sweave...

I have tried to print a table of greek alphabet names and symbols without success. I can print one character at a time but can't seem to find a way to automate an entire list of the symbols. Some of the code I have tried is below. I have searched on help, worked the examples in the December 2002 R Help Desk article and plotmath but...

Request For Translators<g> So what I've gathered from Wikipedia is that the Greek language does not use semicolons as a separator for enumerations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semicolon#Greek_and_Church_Slavonic | In Greek and Church Slavonic, a semicolon indicates a question, | similar to a Latin question mark.[2] To indicate a long pause or | separate sections, each with...

Hi, I want to write in x axis label "fitted value of lambda" (lambda in greek letter). xlab=expression(lambda) gives the "lambda", I tryed things like xlab=paste ("fitted value of ", expression(lambda)) but I didn't get the greek letter. Thanks in advance for any hint. Antonio Olinto ------------------------------------------------- WebMail Bign...

Hi R-users, In a plot, can I specify pch to be a greek symbol? (I looked at show.pch() in the Hmisc package but couldn't see the right symbols in there). If not, I guess I can get around this using text(x,y,expression()). cheers!, Matt. Dr Matt Fischer Postdoctoral Fellow - IPILPS ANSTO - Institute for Nuclear Geophysiology Building 21A PMB 1...

I'm trying to annotate some graphics using plotmath and finding out that the code I'm using isn't bolding the greek letters - it bolds the rest (once I adjusted the numerics to characters), it's just failing on the greek characters. Any suggestions welcomed. Jim Price. Cardiome Pharma Corp. Test code: plot(1:5, type = 'n') # The not bold version text(2, 2:4, cex = 2, labels = do.call(expressi...

I have an instance where I need to include Greek letters on a plot title that is multiple lines. ? I've searched the forums for an approach to do this, but most of the previous posts and replies seem to just address instances of single line examples and problems:, e.g. ? https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/1999-October/005096.html ? I tri...

Hello, I understand how to use substitute() to integrate Greek characters into plot labels, but I haven't been successful getting Greek to appear in the vector entries passed to legend() labels. Any hints? Thanks, -TAG

Hello there, Is there any way to italicize Greek symbols such as mu in axis? From the help files of mathematical anotations: "Note that bold, italic and bolditalic do not apply to symbols, and hence not to the Greek symbols such as mu which are displayed in the symbol font. They also do not apply to numeric constants.", it seems th...

Hi, I need to add on a plot text containing italic Greek characters using the function mtext (i.e. I cannot use Hershey vectors). The characters are nicely displayed when the file is saved as png but not when saved as eps. See code below as example: #postscript('test.eps') png('test.png') plot(1,1, type = 'n') mtext(side = 3,...

...; or the same happen when I wrote: >> plot(c(1,20),c(1,20), xlab = expression(alfa)) > > Write "alpha", not "alfa". To Misty; This makes me wonder if the internationalization of the R documentation is overly "aggressive" in changing the spelling of "Greek" letters to conform to local spellings. Does your ?plotmath page spell the first letter in the Greek alphabet as "alfa". > > Best, > Uwe Ligges > -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA 'Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.' -G...

Dear All, In the title of a plot, I would like to mix greek letters with numbers, where the numbers are obtained from a particular function to a vector (e.g., max(x)); in each call, the value of this vector can change. Without greek symbols I use something like: title(sub=paste("x1=", deparse(x[1]),"beta = ",deparse(max(x)), "rho =...

Hi, I'm fairly new to R, so hopefully this is an easy question... On a plot, I would like to have the y label read: "Response(phi)" with phi = the greek character. From old posts I've found this: title(ylab=expression(paste("Response (", phi, ")"))) This displays nicely, but in the default font. I would like to use font=6 (which is the font of the other labels, title, etc.). Is there an way to display the y-label in fon...

Hello, In the past I have used "expression" to include greek letters in axis labels, but this time I need to include the greek letter as part of a legend. Basically, I need to create the following vector to rename the levels of a factor: c("Interferon-gamma", "IL-10", "IL-5"), where "gamma" obviously needs to be pr...

Dear RGL experts, I haven't been able to add greek letters to my rgl plot3d. I have tried "expression" with no success. Here is the interested bit: > library(rgl) > cb <- cube3d() > plot3d(cb,xlab=expression(alpha),ylab="",zlab="",box=FALSE,alpha=0.5) The expression(alpha) appears as "alpha", r...

Full_Name: Mark St. John Version: 1.8.1 OS: Macintosh 10.3.3 Submission from: (NULL) (63.135.5.86) After upgrading from Mac OS 10.2.8 to 10.3.3 a program I wrote to generate plots will no longer display annotated Greek symbols. I'm using parse() and expression() to convert variable text in to symbols and it would appear that both functions work reasonably well except that Greek characters are missing. I have a second computer still running OS 10.2.8 and have confirmed that the same R program generates figure...

Hi all, I want to plot a series "x" and I want to put on title "Time evolution with alpha=0.2", e.g., plot(x, main="Time evotion with alpha=0.2",col="orange") Is there any posibility to put the greek letter and avoid written the word? Many thanks in advance. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear list, I would like to plot points with two types of labels, one at the data point (the name of the point) and another offset a bit with another factor which is either of the two greek characters alpha or beta. I have tried to get the routine to plot a greek character with expression() or with substitute() and have not yet had any success. The following only plots the word in english in plain text. Here is my subroutine and data: ---------------------------------------------...

Dear all, I need Greek text in titles, axis labels, etc. for graphs. The Graphs are produced in png-format - to use them later on in HTML pages. As the output has to be multilingual they are produced in a loop (for each language). The strings for the titles, labels ... are stored in a text file (Greek, English, French...

Hi, all. I know that this is probably something that others have asked, but I can't find a reference in either the FAQ or the help pages. I'm trying to find a way to put Greek letters as a label of the plot *with* a value from the data. Previously I've used pasted and the word "rho". * paste("rho=", cor2[i]) will produce a label of "rho=0.74", or whatever. But if I use 'substitute' or 'evaluate' commands in...
