Re: [R] How to use strings from a data.frame as the argument of an expression() for plot

Just store them as strings in the data frame and then perform a conversion to expressions prior to the loop: DF <- data.frame(s = c("O[3]", "NO", "NO[2]"), stringsAsFactors = FALSE) e <- parse(text = DF$s) ... continue with prior solution ... On 12/20/06, MrJ Man <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Tha

Thanks for your response; one more thing: Is it possible to use a data.frame for the same effect, as these values are associated with some others (I could of course use them separately, but merging them in a data.frame should be possible in R)? > Try this: > > > e <- expression(O[3], NO, NO[2])

Try this: e <- expression(O[3], NO, NO[2]) opar <- par(mfrow = c(2,2)) for(i in 1:3) plot(1, 1, type = "b", main = bquote(.(e[[i]]) ~ Year ~ 2005)) par(opar) Also please read the last line to every post to r-help and particularly note the part about reproducible examples. x and y.were undefine

2006-12-20 Thread MrJ Man
Greetings, I would like to use a data.frame with strings to feed the expression() in the title of a plot. The way I did this is: molecules <-data.frame(name=c("o3","no","no2"),expression=c("quote(O[3])","quote(NO)","quote(NO[2])")) for (mol in c(5,7,9)) { plot(x, y, type="b", main=eval(substitu
