Hi Marc Try atop
plot(1, 1) v1 <- expression(atop(italic("p")*"-value","based on "*italic("t")*"-test")) legend("topright", legend=v1, y.intersp = 3, bty="n") Regards Duncan Duncan Mackay Department of Agronomy and Soil Science University of New England Armidale NSW 2351 Email: home: mac...@northnet.com.au -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Marc Girondot via R-help Sent: Thursday, 29 December 2016 20:35 To: R-help Mailing List Subject: [R] \n and italic() in legend() Hi everyone, Could someone help me to get both \n (return) and italic() in a legend. Here is a little example showing what I would like (but without the italic) and second what I get: plot(1, 1) v1 <- "p-value\nbased on t-test" legend("topright", legend=v1, y.intersp = 3, bty="n") plot(1, 1) v1 <- expression(italic("p")*"-value\nbased on "*italic("t")*"-test") legend("topright", legend=v1, y.intersp = 3, bty="n") The second one shows : -value pbased on t-test rather than the expected: p-value based on t-test Thanks a lot, Marc ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
