You need substitute(), as in:

x <- "my"
plot(1:10, main = substitute(paste(x, " ", Delta, " values"), list(x = x)))

x <- "my"

Q : How do I get the title to say "my (triangle symbol) values" ?


The following trial-and-error produced mainly errors :

plot(1:10, main=expression(paste( get(x), Delta, "values" ))) plot(1:10, main=expression(paste( substitute(x), Delta, values )))
plot(1:10, main=expression(paste( deparse(x), Delta, "values" )))
plot(1:10, main=paste(x, expression(Delta), "values"))
plot(1:10, main=paste(x, eval(expression(Delta)), "values"))
plot(1:10, main=paste(x, expression(Delta, "values" )))
plot(1:10, main=paste(x, expression(paste(Delta, "values" ))))


Many thanks.
