similar to: Male and female signs as subscript in plot

Does anyone have an idea of how one might plot male and female symbols on a graph using R? Thanks! .................................................................. George W.

Dear R-users, Just like other users (as seen from previous posts on the list), I would like to use female and male signs in plots. I found B. Ripley's post about using Unicode characters. However, it doesn't works for me. > text(locator(1),"\u2640") produces the following error: Error: invalid \uxxxx sequence But I can specify other Unicode characters as long I

I'd like to paste a zodiac sign on a graph, but it only prints it when I add another unicode ( \u3030) to the desired \u2648 - why? See the examplecode (compare the orange with the skyblue): plot(c(-1,1),c(-4,-2),type="n") text(x=0,y=-3.0,labels="\u2648 \u3030",cex=2.3,col="skyblue") text(x=0,y=-3.2,labels="\u2648",cex=2.3,col="orange")

Dear all, I would like to use the biological symbols for male and female as plotting symbols in a scatterplot (ideally filled and non-filled). R does not seem to have these symbols using pch= in plot() nor are they implemented via expression() or at least I did not find them. I found that the symbols are e.g. available in the wasysym and the marvosym package in LaTeX. I have coded two very rough

I'm trying to use the biological female and male signs in R2.5.1 under Windows XP. I can access and insert these symbols using word-processors. In general these should be available as \u2640 and \u2642 but I can't make them happen in R using (say) text(5,5, "\u2640") message "invalid \uxxxx sequence" I've replaced Arial with Arial unicode MS in Rdevga and

Hey, Does anyone know of an equivalent to the LaTeX \perp (perpendicular) symbol for adding to R plots? Parallel is easy enough ("||"), but I haven't been able to find a way of adding perpendicular. The plotmath documentation doesn't mention how to do it, so I'm inclined to think that it doesn't exist - but surely there must be some way of achieving the desired result,

Hello R users, I am new to R, so this may be a very stupid question. I need to subscript the dotted circle (Hershey escape sequence "\\SO") to a string. I tried using text(.5,.5,substitute( R[disk] == 5 R["\\SO"] ) ) but it turns out to be a syntax error. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks Gaetano

This was reported to me by a colleague in China, so I may not be reproducing exactly what they are seeing (which I suspect is rw2011), but this is what I see: > version _ platform i386--netbsdelf arch i386 os netbsdelf system i386, netbsdelf status major 2 minor 1.1 year 2005 month 06 day 20 language R > help(Hershey) : : If the 'vfont' argument

Hi List, I wanted to know if anyone knew of a way with asterisk to "switch the voice" of a caller from male to female or vice versa. Thanks.

Dear R experts- I'm running R 1.2.3 (2001-04-26) on Linux. I need to get special symbols, such as a circle with a dot in it as used to indicate Solar units in astronomy, into my plot axis labels. How can I do this? Using the R documentation on the Hershey font sets, one can plot a Solar symbol within the world coordinates of a plot like this: >plot(1:10,1:10)

Hello Could someone please direct me to the correct commands for adding accents (grave and aigu) to a letter in a plot title, label, or in added text? I'm sure there's a handy list somewhere, but I've failed in coming up with the correct search words to find it. Thank you muchly! Jen

Also, I am wondering if there is any source where the expressions of many symbols are collected. Thanks you very much!!! Li, Xiang(Sean)

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to use a character string as an equation, e.g: eqn1string <- "x^2 + x + 5" Then I want to tell R: 1) that eqn1string is actually an equation (even though it was stored as a character string), and 2) to apply the equation to a specified value of x (e.g. given x <- 6, what is the result of the equation). Thanks in advance for any

yes I have tries, and nothing. It just shows the strings with the slashn, just like i typed it. -----Original Message----- From: Rashid Nassar [mailto:rnassar at duke.edu] Sent: ÐÝì?ôç, 16 Óå?ôåìâñßïõ 2004 15:44 To: Christos Rodopoulos Subject: Re: [R] How do I insert a newline in my title in a plot?

Hi all, for example: > X<- rnorm(1000) > X0 <- 0.899 I want to draw a density distribution plot with a arrow pointer indicating the position of X0, meanwhile, giving out the p-value. any functions? Thanks very much.

Dear R users, I would like to use sub- and super-script in axis labels. I assume this is best done using Hershey symbols. When trying to find information on using Hershey font symbols in axis labels, I came across the following discussion thread: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/02a/1857.html Have Hershey font implementations moved on since then? Thanks, Sander. --

dear R wizards: is it possible to use a postscript font symbol as a plot symbol? in particular, I want to use the four postscript symbols for playing cards (club, heart, spade, diamond) as points. In LaTeX, these four are \Pisymbol{psy}{"A7} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A8} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A9} \Pisymbol{psy}{"A10} and what I would love to do is place them, at say, (x=1,y=1),

Hi all, Is it possible to add a permil (or per mille) symbol to an R plot (I couldn't find this symbol under demo(Hershey) or the plotmath information). In some ascii tables it is symbol no. 137. cheers, Matt. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I would like to label an x-axis with the nabla symbol.
