Dear R-users,

I am developing a plotting function, which receives expressions and character/numerical vectors as part of the many input arguments and which tries to concatenate them before displaying the result to the plot. I currently cannot find a way to make this concatenation works. I have read several posts in the list that solved this problem by pasting the different elements together before creating the expressions (like in http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/02a/4790.html). I cannot implement this solution because my expressions and numerical/character vectors are passed to the function and not create inside the function. I would greatly appreciate any help with the following example code.

Thank you


testplot <- function(a,b,c) {

 text <- as.expression(paste(a,b,c,sep=' '))

 dev.new()

 plot(-5:5,-5:5,col=0)

for (i in 1:3) { text(x=i,
        y=i,
        labels=text[i])
 }
}

a <- as.expression(c(bquote(alpha),bquote(beta),bquote(gamma)))

b <- as.expression(1:3)

c <- as.expression(c(bquote('-10'^th),
                    bquote('-20'^th),
                    bquote('-30'^th)))

testplot(a,b,c)
