Subject: How to use parentheses and degree symbol together?
I'm interested in using a regular bracket with the degree symbol as an
axis label but it's somewhat simpler to show what I mean in a text
statement.
> plot(0, 0, pch = "")
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?
