A more extensive test (no=produced an empty box on the plot, yes=produced the intended plotmath result). It appears that plotmath is not producing the special math characters. Greek symbols are produced. I'll try to reinstall R and report back.
David plot(1,1, main = parse(text = "x >= y")) - no plot(1,1, main = parse(text = "x == y")) - yes plot(1,1, main = parse(text = "x <= y")) - no plot(1,1, main = parse(text = "x ~ y")) - yes plot(1,1, main = parse(text = "x * y")) - yes plot(1,1, main = parse(text = "x %~~% y")) - no plot(1,1, main = bquote(x %~~% y)) - no plot(1,1, main = bquote(x %prop% y)) - no plot(1,1, main = expression(x %prop% y)) - no plot(1,1, main = expression(x == y)) - yes plot(1,1, main = expression(x %+-% y)) - no plot(1,1, main = expression(integral(f(x)*dx, a, b))) - no plot(1,1, main = expression(sum(x[i], i==1, n))) - no plot(1,1, main = expression(x^(y + z))) - yes plot(1,1, main = expression(inf(x))) - no plot(1,1, main = expression(x[(y + z)])) - yes David K Stevens, PhD, PE, Professor Civil and Environmental Engineering Utah Water Research Laboratory Utah State University 8200 Old Main Hill Logan, UT 84322-8200 david.stev...@usu.edu<mailto:david.stev...@usu.edu> (435) 797-3229 (office) On 1/24/2023 3:33 PM, Bert Gunter wrote: Also works for me on a Mac Ventura in the RStudio graphics device. Just for the heckuva it, does plot(1,1,main= quote( x >= y )) work? I shouldn't think so, but ...

I haven't down an exhaustive test but <= and >= have this behavior. plot(1,1,main=parse(text="x >= y")) Has anyone else seen this? best David -- David K Stevens, PhD, PE, Professor Civil and Environmental Engineering Utah Water Research Laboratory Utah State University 8200 Old Main Hill Logan, UT 84322-8200 david.stev...@usu.edu<mailto:david.stev...@usu.edu> (435) 797-3229 (office) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org<mailto: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.
