Hi all,

I still fail to plot an axis title with the following expression:

plot(0,xlab=expression('(SOC [' * kgm^{-2} * '])' * ^{-2}))

the xlab should look like:   (SOC [kgm^2])^0.25

with an out bracket and a superscript.


Like this ?
plot(0,xlab=expression(paste('(SOC[',kgm^-2,'])'^0.25,sep='')))

If so, then this is more simple:

plot(0,xlab=expression('(SOC['*kgm^-2*'])'^0.25)) # using * as a spaceless "connector"

And as far as I know, unlike the base R paste function, there is no sep argument in the plotmath paste function. Look what happens with:

plot(0,xlab=expression(paste('(SOC[',kgm^-2,'])'^0.25,sep='#')))

"#" not used as a separator above, but rather is appended at end

And:

plot(0,xlab=expression(paste('(SOC[',kgm^-2,'])'^0.25))) # no default space
