Hi, I want to put text on a plot containing something like: a = b^2 = <squared numeric value of b> using bquote.
Example: mu = 5 plot(1:10,1:10) text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2)) # This works text(2.5,8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) # but is unpredictable text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 == .(mu^2))) # This doesn't work The last text function returns the error: Error: unexpected '==' in " text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 ==" The first two text functions work in this example, using a default graphics window on a 64-bit Windows machine, and either R 2.11.0 development edition for 64-bit Windows or R 9.2.2 on the same machine ((x 86)). I don't mind the two statements except that when trying to automate this by using the base x coordinate + epsilon*max(x), for example -- x <- 1:10 epsilon=0.05 text(2+esilon*max(x),8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) for the x position on the 2nd text function, the position of the additional text is not predictable.
