Two == expressions in bquote

I think that careful examination will show that Henrique's solution is not
quite right: the text '=' character is slightly different than the symbol
font character. This is admittedly nitpicking, but ...

try instead:

text(2,8,bquote(paste(delta==mu^2,phantom()==.(mu^2))))

Try this:

text(2,8, bquote(delta~'='~mu^2 == .(mu^2)))

Hi,

I want to put text on a plot containing something like: a = b^2 = <squared

numeric value of b> using bquote.

Example:

?mu = 5
?plot(1:10,1:10)
?text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2)) ? ? ? ? ? ?# This works
?text(2.5,8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2))) ?# but is unpredictable

?text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 == .(mu^2))) # This doesn't work

The last text function returns the error:

? ? Error: unexpected '==' in " ?text(2,8, bquote(delta == mu^2 =="

The first two text functions work in this example, using a default

graphics window on a 64-bit Windows machine, and either R 2.11.0 development
edition for 64-bit Windows or R 9.2.2 on the same machine ((x 86)).

I don't mind the two statements except that when trying to automate this

by using the base x coordinate + epsilon*max(x), for example --

?x <- 1:10
?epsilon=0.05
?text(2+esilon*max(x),8, bquote(phantom(0) == .(mu^2)))

for the x position on the 2nd text function, the position of the

additional text is not predictable.

Thanks,

Larry Hotchkiss
