[R] Superscript in y-axis of plot
Dear all, I've been trying to superscript the '2' in the following command (I don't want the '^' displayed), but as yet haven't had much luck. I've tried both the paste and expression commands, but neither have brought me any joy! mtext(side=2, line=5.5, Monthly Precipitation (mm x 10^2/month), font=2, cex=1.1) Any advice would be much appreciated, Steve _ [[elided Hotmail spam]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

This should work: mtext(expression(paste(Monthly Precipitation (mm x ,10^2,/month))) ?plotmath is full of good examples. cu Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Lehrstuhl für Genomorientierte Bioinformatik Technische Universität München Wissenschaftszentrum Weihenstephan 85350 Freising, Germany http://webclu.bio.wzw.tum.de/~pagel/ __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

For the sake of brevity, I like to use this trick, plot(0, 0) mtext(~Monthly Precipitation (mm x *10^2*/month)) HTH, baptiste __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
