I'm interested in using a regular bracket with the degree symbol as an axis label but it's somewhat simpler to show what I mean in a text statement.
> plot(0, 0, pch = "") If I'm easy to please, this would suffice: > text(0, .5, expression(Temperature * degree ~ C)) But I'm not that easily pleased. I prefer it to look like this: > text(0, .4, substitute(paste(Temperature, B * degree, "C)"), list(B = " ("))) It looks fine, but I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it. Is there? -- ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~. ___ Patrick Connolly {~._.~} Great minds discuss ideas _( Y )_ Average minds discuss events (:_~*~_:) Small minds discuss people (_)-(_) .....
