[R] Combining greek letters with the contents of variables
Dear r-help list, I am trying to combine a greek letter lambda with the contents of a variable v in the title of a plot. However, it seems that having v inside the expression() function causes it not to be evaluated, on the other hand having expression(lambda) inside something else like paste causes it to be evaluated to a string. Here is an example of what I want to do: title(main=expression(Value of *Lambda*paste( = ,v,sep=))) Is there any solution for this?

I feel this becomes a frequently asked question, hence I tried Google and typed R main expression greek --- and got an answer: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-July/109934.html Uwe Ligges Ingeborg Schmidt wrote: Dear r-help list, I am trying to combine a greek letter lambda with the contents of a variable v in the title of a plot.

The paste in that answer could be eliminated using ~ : plot(1:10, main= bquote(Results for ~ pi == .(pi))) On Sun, Jan 4, 2009 at 11:17 AM, Uwe Ligges lig...@statistik.tu-dortmund.de wrote: I feel this becomes a frequently asked question, hence I tried Google and typed R main expression greek --- and got an answer: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-July/109934.html Uwe Ligges Ingeborg Schmidt wrote: Dear r-help list, I am trying to combine a greek letter lambda with the contents of a variable v in the title of a plot.
