Following on from my previous mail! plot(1:10,1:10) mtext("title", side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) This works as expected and puts the font in italics. tag <- "A)" suffix <- "genea::" plot(1:10,1:10) mtext(bquote(.(tag) ~ Delta * .(suffix)), side=3, adj=0, font=3, cex=1.5) Here, the font isn't in italics, it's normal. I presume this is some

What's the difference between: <em>emphasis</em> and <i>italicized</i> and <strong>strong</strong> and <b>bold</b> It seems to subtle for my browsers. The only "difference" I've been able to find is that according to the O'Reilly book <strong> and <emphasis> are semantic tags, while <b> and <i>

Colleagues, Using R 2.10.1 in OS X (Snow Leopard), I created JPEG documents that were intended to include italicized text. In the JPEG versions, the italics appear in bold-face. The identical code (except for the call to the device) yields italics in PDF. A minimal example is: PDF version: > pdf("plot.pdf") > plot(1,1) > mtext(bquote(italic(P) < .(0.005))) >

Dear list, I making some box-and-whisker plots in R with vertebrate data. The x axis are species names that must be in italics. I tried with the "axis" function but no luck, and it seems that affects both axes. Any tip? Thanks a lot in Advance. Alej

I recently upgraded from 1.2.8 to 2.0.6, I am using Maildir, and Thunderbird is showing the INBOX grayed out and in italics, and does not show new messages in it (it shows messages previously downloaded). This occurs when Thunderbird is restarted (if I upgrade dovecot, TB keeps working fine until I shut it down, and at next startup it greys out the inbox). All the subfolders of INBOX work

Dear R-helpers, > label2 <- expression(paste(italic(attraction function:), 'slope')) Error: unexpected 'function' in "label2 <- expression(paste(italic(attraction function" How do I tell R that in this case I don't want 'function' to be treated as a reserved word but as a string in italics? _____________________________ Professor Michael Kubovy

Hi, I am drawing several plots and want to have italics in a main title; this is easy with expression(). However, I want also to add a value to it, say n_i, that depends on an ith plot. For this I am using paste(). An example: n_i = 10, 20, 30; I want to draw a plot for each i with the title: "Relative efficiency for sample size n = n_i", where n should be in italics, and of course n_i

Hello List, Firstly, I was very impressed when I tried markdown 2.0 recently. Fantastic work all! I have a query about the treatment of emphasis. I realise that the horse has bolted, and changes to currently supported functionality are unlikely to attract support. However, there does seem (at least in my tiny mind) to be a mis-match between the following stated goal and the present

Part of my script reads: speciesName <- names(data)[i] plot(year,depth, xlab="Year", ylab="Depth(m)",main=expression(italic(paste(speciesName))) ) Unfortunately, this just plots *speciesName *on my graph, not the name of the species in italics. Any suggestions on how to resolve this? Thank you Jacob [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, As part of the legend to a plot, I need to have the "n" in italics because it is a requirement of the journal I aim to publish in: "This study, n = 3293" Presently I have: legend(20, 105, "This study, n = 3293", pch=1, col=rgb(0,0,0,0.5), pt.cex=0.3, cex=0.8, bty="n") I suppose I could leave a blank in place of the "n",

Hello useRs, I'm trying to put italics and regular font into a title and am having some trouble. The title I would like is " /Q. marilandica/ Volume ".

Hi I am using mathematical anotation to make the labels in a barplot in italics. as an example (adapted from http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/129808.html): tt <- c("italic(First~~set)", "italic(Second~~set)", "italic(third~~set") barplot(1:3, names.arg=parse(text=tt)) But I would like to have it with "set" in a second column, like tt

Hi all, Despite switching to mod_fcgid (which has improved performance), sessions are still expiring sporadically. I thought I might try switching to storing them in the db, but I get the following error when I try to run the rake create_sessions_table command D:\User\Code\ruby\prometheus>rake create_sessions_table (in D:/User/Code/ruby/prometheus) rake aborted! undefined local variable or

Hi, Could someone please let me know how to plot greek letters in italic. text(0,14,expression(italic(rho)[italic(f)])) only plots the f in italic and text(37,40,expression(italic(rho))) doesn't plot rho in italic.

Dear expeRts, I would like to use expression() for creating labels in a splom, as shown in the first minimal example below. Is there any way I can simplify having to write "expression(italic(...))" several times? The second example is what I tried so far, but I can't manage to get italic() to work. Moreover, it still seems bulky... Cheers, Marius ## minimal example (working but

I wish place the following axis label in such a manner that some of the text is plain and the scientific name is in italics (i.e. a mixture of two font types) Using plot: mtext("Total Landings of Pecten maximus (tonnes)",font,=3, side=2, line=3) makes everything italic, but how do I apply the font change to only "Pecten maximus"?

Hi, I need to italicize the journal in a citation but have thus far failed.
