How can I insert mathematical expressions for variable names in a lattice
parallel plot? I tried to implement mathematical expressions in varnames,
however, without success.
For example, neither
parallel(~iris[1:4] | Species, iris,
varnames=c(P[Width], Petal[length], alpha[Width],
Sepal[Length]))
nor
parallel(~iris[1:4] | Species, iris,
varnames=c(expression(P[Width]), expression(Petal[length]),
expression(alpha[Width]),
expression(Sepal[Length])))
result in the desired labeling of the different axes of the parallel plot.
Your example will not work in the released version of lattice, but it
does work in the development version (available from
https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=638).
BTW, you could shorten it to:
parallel(~iris[1:4] | Species, iris, varnames=expression(P[Width],
Petal[length], alpha[Width], Sepal[length]))
A workaround for the released version is:
parallel(~iris[1:4] | Species, iris, scales = list(y = list(at = 1:4,
labels = expression(P[Width], Petal[length], alpha[Width],
Sepal[length]
