Hi,
I'm curious about Tab stops in graphics: plot(1) text(1.2, 1.2, "Char\nMoreChar") works fine, but text(1.2, 0.8, "Char\tMoreChar") doesn't. Exporting with pdf tells me that the sign width is unknown. I'm not into informatics, so I don't know how a tabstop actually works. Is this at all possible in graphical commands as it is in write.table and the like? I'm e.g. writing a legend with two colums. I solve this with adding " " via paste to each element of the first column in one legend command, and then adding a second legend more to the right with the second column with bty="n". That's OK for the results, but not elegant programming... paste(ColumnOne, "\t", ColumnTwo, sep="") would be more what I'd intuitively use. Any ideas are welcome!
