similar to: Greek character and R

Hi everyone. I'm trying to use small letter phi in a graph produced in R. However, the small letter phi does not look as it should. In fact, it looks like this: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n3963311/Untitled.png instead of what is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi Here's the code I use: expression(phi [1]) Anyone has an idea?

Dear all, Maybe, I am doing something wrong, but using R-2.5.0 on my Intel-Mac, I have problems using function callNextMethod() in method initialize. I am loading the following code as file "testS4.R": setClass("baseClass", representation(myname = "character", mydir = "character", "VIRTUAL"),

Hello, In the past I have used "expression" to include greek letters in axis labels, but this time I need to include the greek letter as part of a legend. Basically, I need to create the following vector to rename the levels of a factor: c("Interferon-gamma", "IL-10", "IL-5"), where "gamma" obviously needs to be printed as the greek letter

Dear list, I would like to plot points with two types of labels, one at the data point (the name of the point) and another offset a bit with another factor which is either of the two greek characters alpha or beta. I have tried to get the routine to plot a greek character with expression() or with substitute() and have not yet had any success. The following only plots the word in english in

Dear List, yes, me again trying to work with qplot ;-) I would like to make several single plots within a loop, like this (simplified and so on...): trials <- c("A","B","C") mycolours <- ("wheat","darkolivegreen","lightgreen",

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

Estimados Hace unos días envié un correo porque tenía problemas para guardar los gráficos en el disco rígido, utilizando R server 9, comentaba que el código antes funcionaba pero que tenía fallas. No encuentro mi mensaje en la lista para continuar el hilo, encontré el problema, no lo comprendo del todo pero cambiando jpg por png funciona, aparentemente hay un inconveniente para guardar en jpg.

Dear R-ers, I hope there is a really simple solution to my problem. I've written a function that I saved in an .r file. I source this file in my code. For a while it worked fine. But then when I run the line: source("F mylineplot.r") I started getting a warning: In readLines(file) : incomplete final line found on 'F mylineplot.r' I have no idea why - I tried to check and

For an axis label I want to include the Greek letter mu within the string. I've not found the proper way of including that expression within the string. What I want is "Conductivity (uS/cm)" with the 'u' replaced by mu. When I try "Conductivity (" expression(paste(mu)) "S/cm)" I get an error. If I don't separate Conductivity and S/cm with

I had such good luck with my previous question to r-help, (a few minutes ago) that I thought I would try again with the following query: > Suppose I have > > xNm <- "gamma" > > I would like to be able to do > > plot(1:10,xlab = <something involving xNm">) > > and get the x axis label to be the Greek letter gamma > (rather than the

Hi I am running an R script that creates 100s of graphs, and I need to use the greek CAPITAL letter delta in the mtext() function. I got as far as expression(delta) but this gives me the lowercase version. Can anyone help?

Dear R-helpers, I have been trying to figure out how to plot a graph with an axis label consisting of a mixture of Latin, Greek and subscript characters. Specifically, I need to write A[beta]{1-42}, where A is Latin script A, [beta] is Greek lower case beta and {1-42} is subscript '1-42'. I can use xlab=expression(beta[1-42]) and obtain the [beta]{1-42} part of the label. But, I can't

I am using \Sexpr to include a variable in a title of a Sweave document: \documentclass[a4paper]{article} <<echo=false, results=hide>>= #mytitlevar <- "Stuff" # case 1, everything is find mytitlevar <- "Stuff_first" # case 2, f is turned into sub-text @ \title{MyTitle: \\ \Sexpr{mytitlevar} } \begin{document} \maketitle \end{document} When doing this, the

Dear R-helpers, I am using xtable package to prepare a Latex code of some R tables. Is this possible to have a greek symbols in xtable cells? How can I get for example a string of : $\Delta$ > "$\Delta$" [1] "$Delta$" And string: > "$\\Delta$" [1] "$\\Delta$" Gives a latex aoutput like: \$$\backslash$Delta\$ Thank You in advance Andris

I know that this has been asked before in other variations but I just can't seem to figure out my particular application from previous posts. My apologies if I have missed the answer to this question somewhere in the archives. I have indeed looked. I am running Ubuntu 11.04, with R 2.12.1 and ESS+Emacs. For journal formatting requirements, I need to italicize all the greek letters in any

Hi R-users, In a plot, can I specify pch to be a greek symbol? (I looked at show.pch() in the Hmisc package but couldn't see the right symbols in there). If not, I guess I can get around this using text(x,y,expression()). cheers!, Matt.

Hi, I want to write in x axis label "fitted value of lambda" (lambda in greek letter). xlab=expression(lambda) gives the "lambda", I tryed things like xlab=paste ("fitted value of ", expression(lambda)) but I didn't get the greek letter.

Hi, I need to add on a plot text containing italic Greek characters using the function mtext (i.e. I cannot use Hershey vectors). The characters are nicely displayed when the file is saved as png but not when saved as eps. See code below as example: #postscript('test.eps') png('test.png') plot(1,1, type = 'n') mtext(side = 3, line = 2,

Hi, I would like to add a two-lines label consisting of: "Delta word1\n word2" (with Delta being the actual greek letter). However, when I try "expression(paste(Delta,"word1\nword2"))", I obtain the following display: "word1\n Delta word2". Do you have any idea on how to obtain the desired display? Thank you for your help! Sebastien [[alternative HTML

Hello, I understand how to use substitute() to integrate Greek characters into plot labels, but I haven't been successful getting Greek to appear in the vector entries passed to legend() labels. Any hints? Thanks, -TAG
