One possible solution is to use strsplit to break on each character and then paste to put in a "\n" after each character. Then when you plot the text should be in the format you desire. x <- "output"y <- unlist(strsplit(x, NULL))p <- cat(paste(y, collapse="\n")) plot.new()text(.5, .5, paste(y, collapse="\n"))
