Hi I am having problems with the rendering of scientific symbols (mu and degree) in my plots. Whenever I use these symbols they are rendered changed (mu is changed to the proportionality symbol and degree is changed to something resembling a gamma) in the X-device. If I make a pdf of the plot and open the file in Evince or Okular symbols are also rendered wrong, however if I open the file

I have a small problem with R graphics output. When I use the lattice package and CairoPDF to generate publication quality graphs I often use the expression to create an axis title that has microlitres or micrometers as a unit. I use something like the following 'expression(paste("Length (", mu,"m )"))' as an argument to the xlabel function. The command works but the mu

I would like to add the greek letter mu to replace u in my title shown below. main="R=[0.001uM]:A=[750uM]" i tried using main=expression(R=[0.001~mu~M]:A=[750~mu~M]) but this is not working at the moment. any help is appreciated thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi - I've been using the option main=bquote(paste(mu==.(mu),", ",lambda==.(lambda),", ",truncation==.(truncation),", ",N[T]==.(n))) to produce a title when using the "plot" command - a title which includes variable names (two Greek) along with their values. The above option, however, does not work within the "boxplot" command. Any

Hello This is a problem I encountered repeatedly and I found no answer that made me really happy. I hope it is not too trivial. I would like to give the concentration of a substance in a plot title: 5 ug/ml substance the '5' would be a variable and the ug should be micrograms (with greek letter mu). It is the mu that causes the problems for me. I failed using various combinations of

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 =

Dear list, First, I am not writing to ask about embedding Computer Modern font in graphics produced by R. I am generating plots to be saved using pdf() and postscript() in R, and I make use of some math expressions that are provided by R, namely, some greek letters. My question is, do I need to embed the fonts that include these math symbols (say, if they are going out for publication, to have

I am trying to make a figure legend that says "uM" (but replace "u" with mu). When I use the following script, my legend looks more like "u M", rather than "uM". > legend(1,1, c(expression(1~mu~M))) How do I get rid of the space R places in when using the expression command to insert a greek letter? Thanks very much in advance Ming Kung Graduate

Hello, I was trying to build some functions which I would like to integrate over an interval using the function 'integrate' from the 'stats' package. As an example, please consider the function h(u)=sin(pi*u) + sqrt(2)*sin(pi*2*u) + sqrt(3)*sin(pi*3*u) + 2*sin(pi*4*u) Two alternative ways to 'build' this function are as in f and g below: coeff<-sqrt(1:4)

Is there a way to achieve lbl=c("a", "b", "c", "d") par(mfrow=c(2,2), ann=FALSE) for (t in 1:4){ plot(seq(from=1,to=2*pi,length=100), sin(t*seq(from=1,to=2*pi,length=100)), type="l") title(main=paste("(", lbl[t], ")", sep="")) } without having to use an object like 'lbl'? More generally: is it possible

Hello all, I can't seem to figure how to use a greek character in expression() in plot() labels without adding a space. So for example below when plotting this out x<-1:10 plot(x,x^2, xlab=expression(Chlorophyll~italic(a)~mu~g~cm^-2)) the axis label read as μ g cm^-2 because I have space there with a tilda. But if I remove the tilda then my units are mug cm^-2. Can anyone recommend a

For an axis label I want to include the Greek letter mu within the string. I've not found the proper way of including that expression within the string. What I want is "Conductivity (uS/cm)" with the 'u' replaced by mu. When I try "Conductivity (" expression(paste(mu)) "S/cm)" I get an error. If I don't separate Conductivity and S/cm with

Hello, I want to save a pdf plot using Cairo, but the canvas of the saved file seems too large when compared to the actual plotted area. Is there a way to control the relation between the canvas size and the size of actual plotting area? Thanks in advance, and best regards, Eduardo Horta [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Martin and Tim, I also have this bug. Though I think not necessarily with all the same fonts as Martin. Using Martin's code: https://imgur.com/a/ILUoe3H Fedora 39, Evince 45.0 It's a bug with Evince. I think. I think it's substituting in a font set that doesn't have all the required symbols. I think it should be possible to install the required fonts, but I haven't

Hi. I'm trying to get 'mu' to show up as a Greek symbol but, despite trying every example I could find, can't get it to work. Any insights would be welcome. This is what I'm using that works, but displays mu with the letter u. plotTimeXMastPAR <- qplot(DT,MastPAR, data=A, xlab = "", ylab = quote(PAR (uE ~m^-2 ~s^-1)), geom="line") +

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, line = 2,

Hi! I was wondering if there are any other functions for numerical integration, besides 'integrate' from the stats package, but which wouldn't require the integrand to be vectorized. Oh, and must be capable of integrating over (-inf,+inf). Thanks in advance, Eduardo Horta [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

This problem has bugged me for several years now, and our own IT staff has tried a few things, but then never cared enough to persist fixing it. It *is* a bug in evince, the standard pdf viewer on Fedora and IIUC also quite few other Linux distributions, and *not* a bug in R; hence I am asking for help/hints here. A very simple example:
