How can I write the square root symbol in an axes label?
Look at help("plotmath").
plot(1:10, xlab=bquote(Log(sqrt("Total area") * (mm)))) # small space before (mm)
plot(1:10, xlab=bquote(Log(sqrt("Total area") ~ (mm)))) # more space before (mm)
For your next question:
# now use .(var) to interpolate value of variable 'var' into a plot label. varName <- "Mean Acceleration" # render as uninterpreted text units <- bquote(m/s^2) # render in math notation plot(1:10, xlab=bquote(Log(sqrt(.(varName)) ~ (.(units)))))

And how can I write the units of my axis but outside the square root symbol
I have
plot(1:10, ylab=bquote(Log(sqrt("Total area (mm)"))))
but I need it as in the attached picture
