I'm trying to annotate some graphics using plotmath and finding out that the code I'm using isn't bolding the greek letters - it bolds the rest (once I adjusted the numerics to characters), it's just failing on the greek characters.
Any suggestions welcomed. Jim Price. Cardiome Pharma Corp. Test code: plot(1:5, type = 'n') # The not bold version text(2, 2:4, cex = 2, labels = do.call(expression, unlist(list('Placebo', lapply(c(3, 6), function(.x) substitute(.x ~~ mu * g / kg / hr, list(.x = .x)))), recur = F))) # The bold version - note that the greek letter doesn't change text(4, 2:4, cex = 2, labels = do.call(expression, unlist(list(substitute(bold(Placebo)), lapply(as.character(c(3, 6)), function(.x) substitute(bold(.x ~~ mu * g / kg / hr), list(.x = .x)))), recur = F))) > sessionInfo() R version 2.10.0 (2009-10-26) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252 LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=English_United States.1252 attached base packages: [1] graphics grDevices utils datasets methods stats base other attached packages: [1] foreign_0.8-38 latticeExtra_0.6-1 RColorBrewer_1.0-2 lattice_0.17-26 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_2.10.0 tools_2.10.0 -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Bold-greek-letters-using-plotmath-tp1679759p1679759.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
