plot(1:10, type="n") text(2, 8, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) #Rolf's original text(2, 6,expression(paste(bolditalic(p),"*", sep = ""))) #Goran's suggestion text(2, 3, expression(paste(bolditalic(p)^"*"))) # repeat Rolf's original text(locator(1), "*", cex=3) # click on the asterisk: how big do you want it?
