similar to: Italics in plot main title

R 1.3.0, windows I've checked archives, and examples in text, mtext, and title. I am trying to include italicized text in the main title of a figure: ...., main = "[italics here] species name [italics stop] more plain text" TIA, Henry ***************************** Martin Henry H.

Dear helpers in this forum, This is a clarified version of my previous questions in this forum. I really need your generous help on this issue. > Suppose I have the following data set: > > id x y > 023 1 2 > 023 2 5 > 023 4 6 > 023 5 7 > 412 2 5 > 412 3 4 > 412 4 6 > 412 7 9 > 220 5 7 > 220 4 8 > 220 9 8 > ...... > Now I want to compute the

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))) >

For example, try viewing the test.svg file generated by svg("test.svg", width=4,4,8) plot.new();

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 ". If I use main=bquote(italic( "Q. marilandica ", " volume")) I get just " Q. marilandica " in italics in the title. If i use main=bquote(italic( "Q. marilandica ,) volume") I get "

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

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

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",

Hi: I've been reading "Computational Methods for Multilevel Modeling" by Pinheiro and Bates, the idea of embedding the technique in my own c-level code. The basic idea is to rewrite the joint density in a form to mimic a single least squares problem conditional upon the variance parameters. The paper is fairly clear except that some important level of detail is missing. For

Dear All, Apologies if this is too simple for this list. Let us assume that you have an instrument measuring particle distributions. The output is a set of counts {n_i} corresponding to a set of average sizes {d_i}. The set of {d_i} ranges from d_i_min to d_i_max either linearly of logarithmically. There is no access to further detailed information about the distribution of the measured sizes, but

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

Hi Folks, I am dealing with data which have been presented as at each x_i, mean m_i of the y-values at x_i, sd s_i of the y-values at x_i number n_i of the y-values at x_i and I want to linearly regress y on x. There does not seem to be an option to 'lm' which can deal with such data directly, though the regression problem could be algebraically

Hello, I'm very new to using R, but I was told it could do what I want. I'm not sure how best to enter the information but here goes... I'm trying to transfer the following integral into R to solve for ln(gamma_1), on the left, for multiple instances of gamma_i and variable N_i. gamma_i is, for example, (0, 0.03012048, 0.05000000, 0.19200000, 0.44000000, 0.62566845) N_i (N_1 or

Hi, I am running simulations that does multiple comparisons to control. For each simulation, I need to model 7 nls functions. I loop over 7 to do the nls using try if try fails, I break out of that loop, and go to next simulation. I get warnings on nls failures, but the simulation continues to run, except when the internal call (internal to nls) of the chol2inv fails.

Hi All, So I just joined the list - first off, Markdown is a great format and we're using it in our online community project disCourse: http://discourse.ics.hawaii.edu We're using markdown for our wiki pages, stories, message postings, pretty much everywhere. One markdown policy that doesn't seem to fit intuitively for our users is the fact that embedded underscores leads to

Dear all, To draw a lowess line on a plot was a piece of cake; to draw a loess line, however, seems not that easy. Is the loess plotting implemented at all in relation to the loess function, or do I have to look in add-on packages? Thanks, Marcin

Hi, Consider this simple plot: > plot(1:25,runif(25,0,1),ylab="First Y-axis label",xaxt="n") I want to add an additional axis as > axis(4,at=seq(0.2,1,.2), labels=1:5) I have no idea how to add now the title of the new axis as "Second Y-axis label". I want this text to be vertically directed from bottom to top. I can't find the function in text() to write

Buenas tardes, Estoy interesado en generar observaciones de una distribucion binomial bivariada en la que hay _cierto_ grado de correlacion (denotemoslo rho). Podria por favor alguien indicarme como hacerlo en R? Este es el contexto. Supongamos que se tienen dos experimentos en los que la variable respuesta _sigue_ una distribucion binomial, i.e., X_i ~Binomial(n_i, p_i), i=1,2 y que, por ahora,

Hello, I have written a function that demonstrates the CLT by generating samples following the exponential distribution, calculating the means, plotting the histogram, and drawing the limiting normal curve as an overlay. I have the title of each histogram state the sample size and rate (1/theta) for the exponential (the output is actually 4 histograms), but I can't get the greek letter theta
