[R] Adding math symbols to axis labels

2011-12-22 Thread tamre
I am trying to get mdots^-1 in a x-axis label for a publication ready
graph.  I can get ms^-1 with no problem, but I can't get the symbol for
the dot to work.  I am have tried the following:

plot(x,y,xlab=expression(paste(Target Velocity
(,ms^-1,))),ylab=Passage Probability,ylim=c(0,1))

which works fine.

I tried changing to:

plot(x,y,xlab=expression(paste(Target Velocity
(m,symbol(327),s^-1,))),ylab=Passage Probability,ylim=c(0,1))

which does not work.

I tried a couple of other iterations that also did not work.  Any help
is greatly appreciated!

Instead:

?points
?plotmath

plot(1,1,xlab=expression(Target Velocity m*symbol(\267)*s^-1 ),  
ylab=Passage Probability,ylim=c(0,1))





which does not work.
