similar to: format scientific + plotmath potential bug

Colleagues, I am encountering difficulty adding formatted text to a graphic. Specifically, I want to add a superscript in the middle of a text string but I would like to format the text string on the fly. The commands: plot(1,1) ARG <- bquote('TEXT'^'\u00ae') mtext(ARG, line=-2, side=1) yield the desired output. However, my goal is to paste together a string, then pass

R 4.2.3 OS X Colleagues This should be easy -- but not for me. I want to plot text similar to this: N ? XX: YY where XX can be either 1 or 50 and YY is an integer I envision that there would be two solutions: UNICODE: If I can generate "?" via unicode, the problem is solved: mtext(side=3, paste0("N ", UNICODE, " ", XX, ": ", YY)) PLOTMATH:

If I have two variables set, one of which holds an expression, for example: > label <- 'Temperature' > unit <- expression(paste(degree,'C')) how can I join them together for use in mtext (or equivalent)? The following is conceptually what I want to do, but will obviously not work: > plot(0:1) > mtext(paste(label,unit)) Preferably, I would like this to work

I'm using R-2.6.2 on Fedora Linux 9. I've been experimenting with plotmath. I wish it were easier to combine expressions in plotmath with values from the R program itself. There are two parameters in the following example, the mean "mymean" and standard deviation "mystd". I am able to use bquote to write elements into the graph title like mu = mymean and R will

Hello R-help List I am writing some R scripts to create graphs of water quality trends that will be called by a web service running R. The axis titles will need to change as the input data (ie. water quality variable) changes according to a user's choice made via a web page. The way I am currently passing call-specific parameters to the R script is via a text file created on the fly by the

Hello, I'd like to add labels to my plot that include a male or female symbol as subscript. I'm working in Windows Vista and R 3.0.0. I am able to add the male symbol to the plot as regular text (NOT as subscript), e.g. with: mtext("Male\u2642") This displays the word "Male" followed by the male symbol on the plot. But "\u2642" does not work when I try to

Here's another example of my plotmath whipping boy, the Normal distribution. A colleague asks for a Normal plotted above a series of axes that represent various other distributions (T, etc). I want to use vectors of equations in plotmath to do this, but have run into trouble. Now I've isolated the problem down to a relatively small piece of working example code (below). If you would

Readers, How to solve this unicode input error please? > postscript("~/tmp/test.eps",width=100/25.4,height=100/25.4,horizontal=FALSE,onefile=TRUE,paper="special") > testx<-seq(1:5) > testy<-seq(1:5) > plot(testy~testx) > mtext('text (O?)\n more text',side=3,line=1) Warning messages: 1: In mtext("text (O?)\n more text", side = 3, line =

Hi, I'm interested in using mtext(), but with the option of having multiple colors in the same line of text. For example, creating a line of text where: Red is red and blue is blue How do you create a text argument that lets you do this within mtext()?

Greetings: I would like comments on this example and after fixing it up, I need help from someone who has access to insert this in R's help page for plotmath. I uploaded a drawing http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Normal-2009.pdf that is created by the following code http://pj.freefaculty.org/R/Normal1_2009_plotmathExample.R This will be a good addition to the plotmath help page/example.

Dear all; I wish to create a graphic object combing an xyplot() and an mtext(). My code looks like following, gmv <- { trellis.device("windows", bg="white", width = 7, height = 7) xyplot(Mvol ~ Age | Nl * Th , data = Hft1, prepanel = function(x, y) prepanel.loess(x, y, span = 1), xlab =list(label = "Age (Years)", font = 2),

Hi, I'm trying to use expression() to write a text to a graphic in the margin. Using: mtext(expression(beta),side=1,line=2) writes a perfect beta greek character, but I need to add a subindex "max", and I'm trying: mtext(paste(expression(beta),"max"),side=1,line=2) simply writes "beta max" in the plot. Please, Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I am trying to install the maverick version. The lucid version works flawlessly, but this one promts this messages. The following packages have unmet dependencies: r-base: Depends: r-base-core (>= 2.12.0-1maverick0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: r-recommended (= 2.12.0-1maverick0) but it is not going to be installed Recommends: r-base-html but it is not going

My wine used to work fine - I'm using Lucid and wanted wine 3.16 because of a bug fix, and I figured the maverick debian would probably be fine, and I installed it, and OpenGL suddenly didn't work. So I used "completely remove" in Synaptic to uninstall the maverick version of wine and went back to the lucid 3.15 version, and it still didn't work. I replaced everything in my

Is there a way to display something like the quadratic equation, i.e. with a numerator and demonator on a plot? I think there is a way to create the equation in Latex, but wasn't sure if this format would translate to plotting. \begin{equation} ? x = \frac{b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)}{2*a} \end{equation} ? My searched turned up the following:

Readers, I tried to the following commands: plot(y~x,ylab=expression(A[1]~B[2],xlab=expression(C~D)) mtext(expression(A[1]~B[2]),"additional text",side=3,line=1) I receive the text that I want, but the command terminal shows the following response: Warning message: NAs introduced by coercion in: mtext(expression(A[1]~B[2]),"additional text", side = 3, What is my mistake

Hi, I have been trying to get the label under the total column - i.e. a mean value of columns 2 to 6 - in a barplot I generate with this script: t1 <- tapply(A, B, sum) t1[8] <- mean(t1[2:6]) t1 <- as.table(t1) barplot(t1, ylim=c(0,3000)) mtext("Var1", side = 1, line = 3) mtext("Var2", side = 2, line = 3) I have been trying to use axis(1, at=1:8,

Hello, I've upgraded to maverick from lucid (a clean install). I've been getting the same error for many applications running from wine, each in it's own bottle. Garena starts with the error but I can't log in, Heroes 3 runs without a glitch and suddenly crashes with the same error, Microsoft Office same thing, just crashes out of the blue, I can't install ie7 or ie8....same

R 4.2.2 OS X Colleagues A file that I have read includes strings like this: "EVENT ? 30 sec" When I include the string in a graphic using: mtext(STRING, ?) it appears as: "EVENT ... 30 sec" Is there a simple work-around (short of reformatting all the strings, then using plotmath)?

R 2.15.1 OS X (MLion) Colleagues, I am aware that changes in mfrow / mfcol in par() affect cex (from help: In a layout with exactly two rows and columns the base value of ?"cex"? is reduced by a factor of 0.83: if there are three or more of either rows or columns, the reduction factor is 0.66). I generate a multipage PDF in which mfrow varies such that cex is impacted. This affect
