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 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)

Hi all, I would like to add phonetic symbols in my figures. Usually I typeset my documents in LaTeX and I use the tipa [1] package to get International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) fonts. So, my problem would be solved if I could insert LaTeX commands in the text() function (I guess at least). I would like to avoid using psfrag (that is, inserting a string in the eps figure and then substituting it

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,

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),

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

Hi, I can't seem to find the ipa-server package in centos 6; it is not available on my favourite mirrors, nor do the release notes mention its absence. Has it been overlooked when assembling the distribution? Thanks & best wishes Armin

Hello, Some time ago, I discovered the possibility of using mathematical symbols for axis labels etc. In order ensure consistency between text and graphics of some paper, I would like to include the calligraphic H (obtained in LaTeX via \mathcal{H}) in several diagrams. Is there any way to do so? Is it in general possible to use further mathematical fonts like \mathbb and \mathbf in R? Best

Hi, I'm a beginner with R, but I'm getting excellent results with it. Well I've got an capscale object (vegan package) and I want to made a biplot with symbols representing six groups of areas. With the plot.cca function and some par attributes (like 'labels') I was able to substitute the samples names for keyboard symbols ('x','o','#',ect), but it's

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

I am using the standard phonetic font "Doulos SIL" in a graph (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=DoulosSILfont) This is an example: windowsFonts(IPA="TT Doulos SIL") barplot(c(1,2,3,4,5),names=c("\u{0251}","\u{0252}","\u{0253}","\u{0254}","\u{0255}"),family="IPA") However, I am unable

Hi, I would like to draw some Unicode symbols like G- and f-clefs (used in music notation) in quartz-window. I succeed in producing sharp #,: plot(0,0,xlim=c(0,2),ylim=c(0,2)) points(1,1, pch="\u266F",cex=2) But for instance "b" (flat accidental) u266D and those clefs doesn't work. G-clef is said to be UTF-8: F0 9D 84 9E UTF-16: D834 DD1E Code point: U+1D11E I have

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

Dear All, I am sure this is a one-liner, but I cannot find the R command to generate the LaTex symbols \perp and \parallel. Consider for instance the figure (one can use any kind of data for the plot) pdf("friction_linear_chain_perpendicular.pdf") par( mar = c(4.5,5, 2, 1) + 0.1) plot(data[ ,1], data[

I wonder if we couldn't just use the PNG , SVG, support from the GNU plotutils from which we already have the Hershey scalable vector fonts [-> help(Hershey)] The new plotutils (July 2000) do support these (and will probably even better in the future, i.e., we can build on others people free software. Paul [who built "Hershey" into R], do you think this path is worth pursuing?

yes I have tries, and nothing.

Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to use Hershey vector fonts to create very primitive musical notation. If I can hang some whole notes on these lines X11() plot(0,0, xlim=c(0,10), ylim=c(0,10)) # Staves: for (i in c(seq(from=2,to=2.8,by=0.2),seq(from=4,to=4.8,by=0.2))) { abline(h=i) } it is enough.

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

Hi, In the FAQ I read about options to specify different fonts than the default ones for the console (in the file Rprofile) and for the graphical output (Rdevga). I would however like to replace Latin 1 with Latin 2 enconding for both (console and graphical) output in Windows and just graphical output in Linux. I guess it is possible but I did not find the way. How can I use the fonts
