similar to: Mixed font type in plot title

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))) >

Hi all! I've written a handy script that uses a for loop to allow me to generate a large number of figures and statistical outputs for a large dataset. I am using indexing to retrieve a species name for the title of my graphs- which worked fine. However, I need to italicize these species names. I originally used the paste function, and had no problems with indexing: *main=paste("Yield

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 all, I have a problem in including my plot in a loop. Here is a simple example for one plot: # Plot simple graph with super- and subscript a<-c(1,2,3,4) b<-c(1,2,3,4) plot(x=a,y=b, ylab=expression(paste("Apple"["P"])), xlab=expression(paste("Banana"^"th")),

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 all, I´m using titt<- expression(paste("R con ventanas de 200 ", italic(datos))) And it works properly on a plot(...,main=titt,..) But if I want to add an improvement to avoid typing n on the plot so that n<-200 titt<- expression(paste("R con ventanas de ",n, italic(datos))) It doesn´t recognize that n is a "variable" and adds "n" letter

Hi, I'm trying to get the correct font used when generating italic text in an R grahic. I have a set of labels that print correctly except it seems the italic text is justr a slanted version of the TeX computer modern normal font... I'm using R v1.8.1 on Windows XP, and I get the same result if I build the pdf using Adobe Acrobat or using MikTeX The labels:

Paul, You solution worked out really well when I ran my code in R. However, when I try to turn the plot into a pdf, the unicode string no longer seems to function and instead of the sigma symbol there are just two periods (See example code below). The following is the code working in the R environment just like I want it to look: set.seed(1) Data=rnorm(100,sd=10000) plot(density(Data))

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

Dear all, I have a rather complicated problem. I am trying to loop through making graphs, so that the graph-making process is fully automated. For each graph, I'd like to make sure the corresponding title is formatted properly. The titles will be a combination of a gene name and numerical position within the gene. The gene name should be italic-bold, whereas the gene position should be

Dear R-List, I would like to write nicely the names of some isotopes on a plot. The code bellow works fine. plot(1:10,1:10) text(c(2,4,8),c(2,4,8),labels=c(expression(italic(phantom(0)^{78}*Ge)), expression(italic(phantom(0)^{137}*Cs)), expression(italic(phantom(0)^{129*m}*Te))), cex=3 ) But, since I have a lot of

Dear List, Is there a possibility to change the font-face for a part of the title of a plot? For example I have the following... plot(nirs, type="l", xlab="Wellenl?nge [nm]", col="darkslategray", main = "Spektrum Deschampsia caespitosa") ...and I would like to change the part of the title-string "Deschampsia caespitosa" to italics? Is

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

Dear R-List, I want to use the label function (from Hmisc library) to allow for the names of my isotopes. library(Hmisc) library(lattice) library(grid) num <- c("78","137","129m") nom <- c("Ge","Cs","Te") df <- data.frame(GE78=seq(nom),CS137=seq(nom),TE129m=seq(nom)) if I use this function to create the labels : lab <-

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

In trying to create a plotmath expression for plot labeling, such as R = 6, beta = 15 where I want beta to be the Greek beta and, possibly, R in italics (like one would get in an explicit expression. The reason for this is that I want to write a string builder function that takes vectors of variable names and their values and return a plotmath expression for labeling a plot. One approach I

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'd like to make the text in my legends italic, but I can't figure out how to do so. font=3 doesn't work. Googling brings up the possibility of expression(italic()), which produces italics, but I can't get this to work with my label data, which is a vector of strings: legend(locator(1), legend = levels(factor(label.vector)), col = plotting.colours, pch =plotsym.bw,

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
