Hi,
If all else fails, you could consider using LaTeX itself with psfrag,
or perhaps a similar idea involving eps2pgf.

Hope this helps,

Dear all,
I would like to plot the dagger symbol in R (like LaTeX's \dagger).
However, I was unable to do so.
First, I thought maybe dagger actually exists just like the degree
symbol:
plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
text(x=0.5, y=0.5, labels=expression(degree))
plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
text(x=0.5, y=0.5, labels=expression(dagger))
However, this was not very successful. New hope emerged that I will
succeed when I read the help page (as so often) for ?plotmath.
There I discovered the 'symbol' thing and read that the Adobe Symbol
font encodings are used. The closest thing I could fine, though, was:
plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
text(x=0.5, y=0.5, labels=expression(symbol("\247")))
But this is obviously not a dagger and it seems the Adobe Symbol font
does not have a dagger.
We also know this :-D
library(fortunes)
fortune("Yoda")
So maybe someone can give me some advice?
Thanks in advance,
Roland
