Hi,

Is it what you are looking for?

plot(0, 0, pch = "")
text(0, .5, expression(Temperature~(degree ~ C)))
text(0, .4, substitute(paste(Temperature, B * degree, "C)"), list(B = " (")))

Hope this help,
Pascal

I'm interested in using a regular bracket with the degree symbol as an

statement.

If I'm easy to please, this would suffice:
text(0, .5, expression(Temperature * degree ~ C))

But I'm not that easily pleased.  I prefer it to look like this:
text(0, .4, substitute(paste(Temperature, B * degree, "C)"), list(B = " (")))

It looks fine, but I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it.

Is there?
