Hi.

I'm trying to get 'mu' to show up as a Greek symbol but, despite trying every example I could find, can't get it to work. Any insights would be welcome.

This is what I'm using that works, but displays mu with the letter u.

plotTimeXMastPAR <- qplot(DT,MastPAR, data=A, xlab = "", ylab = quote(PAR (uE ~m^-2 ~s^-1)), geom="line") + opts(legend.position="none")


I suppose most readers will know by now that qplot is part of ggplot2, but it would be better manners to include the require() statement that would identify the non-base package, as would inclusion of a working example:

require(ggplot2)

qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, ylab=expression(PAR*(mu*E~m^-2~s^-1)))

or
qplot(mpg, wt, data=mtcars, ylab=quote(PAR*(mu*E~m^-2~s^-1)))


This is an attempt to get mu to look right but it does not work. It doesn't fail but nothing inside the expression statement gets displayed.

plotTimeXMastPAR <- qplot(DT,MastPAR, data=A, xlab = "", ylab = c("PAR", expression(mu, quote(E ~m^-2 ~s^-1))), geom="line") + opts(legend.position="none")

Cheers.
