[R] expression() - Superscript in y-axis, keeping line break in string
I've tried several different ways to accomplish this, but as yet to no avail. My y-axis for a plot has a rather long label, and thus I have been using /n to break it into two lines. However, to make it technically correct for publication, I also need to use superscript in the label. For example: par(oma=c(0,0,2,0),mar=c(5,6,0.25,2),lheight=1) plot(1:10, ylab=14C-glyphosate line1\n line2) will provide the text in two lines as I would like it. However, I am trying to keep those same line breaks when using expression() to get my superscript number. This will not work, as it aligns the 14C section with the bottom line of the expression making little sense to the reader. par(oma=c(0,0,2,0),mar=c(5,6,0.25,2),lheight=1) plot(1:10, ylab=expression( ^14*C*-glyphosate line1\n line2)) Is there a way to align the 14C portion of the expression with the top line of the string rather than the bottom line? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thus, you need to create each line in the label separately: par(oma=c(0,0,2,0),mar=c(5,6,0.25,2),lheight=1) plot(1:10, ylab = ) # Now use mtext() to place each line of the y axis label mtext(2, text = expression( ^14*C*-glyphosate line1), line = 3) mtext(2, text = line2, line = 2) See ?mtext for more information.

Use atop: plot(1, main = expression(atop( ^14*C*-glyphosate line, line2))) On 8/4/06, Andrew Kniss [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've tried several different ways to accomplish this, but as yet to no avail.

Re: [R] expression() - Superscript in y-axis, keeping line break in string
Actually Gabor, using your solution with 'atop', which I had not considered, it will work with base graphics: par(oma = c(0, 0, 2, 0), mar = c(5, 6, 0.25, 2), lheight = 1) plot(1:10, ylab = expression(atop( ^14*C*-glyphosate line1, line2))) HTH, Marc On Fri, 2006-08-04 at 12:09 -0400, Gabor Grothendieck wrote: Sorry, you wanted a ylab=, not a main=.

plotmath, as has been covered many times previously, does not support
multi-line expressions. A note should probably be added to ?plotmath on
this.
I've added a note. I think what is exact is that control chars are not
interpreted ('expresssion' is an overloaded work in this context).
Thanks for the nudge (and please do continue to make such remarks).

Thus, you need to create each line in the label separately:
par(oma=c(0,0,2,0),mar=c(5,6,0.25,2),lheight=1)
plot(1:10, ylab = )
# Now use mtext() to place each line of the y axis label
mtext(2, text = expression( ^14*C*-glyphosate line1), line = 3)
mtext(2, text = line2, line = 2)
See ?mtext for more information.
