...or something else similar to \cdot in latex) to be used when writing numbers. Something like the following works for me: x <- 1:10 y <- runif(length(x)) par(las=1, bty='n') plot(x,y, ylim=c(0,1), yaxt='n') p <- pretty(y) axis(2, at=p, labels=format(p, decimal.mark="\u00B7")) at least on x11() and pdf() devices. Is it intentional that I can't use a unicode char though for options(OutDec)? > options(OutDec='\u00B7') Error in options(OutDec = "*") : invalid value for 'OutDec' [I've replaced the cdot with the * in the error...

The documentation for the OutDec option says that it should be a 'one-character string'; yet, if I try a unicode character, it doesn't seem to work. Are unicode chars not counted as one-character? This is within the mac GUI, but I also see this on linux boxes. > x <- '\u00B7' > nchar(x) [1] 1 > options(OutDec=x) Error in options(OutDec = x) : invalid value for 'OutDec' I don't think I've changed anything with my LANG settings, but here it is anyway: > Sys.getenv('LANG') LANG "en_GB.UTF-8" > version...

I'm having problems creating an axis label for a plot. y_label = expression(paste(plain('CPUE '),plain('(fish'),plain('x'),plain('h'^{-1}),plain(')'))) I'd like to replace the "x" with an interpunct symbol (dot). Any suggestions how to do this? Thanks in advance. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Greetings, R-Helpers: I am trying to build a package on WinXP, something that I have done before, but infrequently, and have recently updated both the Rtools and the version of R being used. My test case fails after successfully creating the compiled html files with this error message: . . . Created c:\DOCUME~1\CHARLE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\Rbuild142865646\March18\chm\March18.chm, 41,494
