expression()
Thanks you, this works right. I just would like to note one thing: although I've found italic() in the help for plotmath and I can see that the italic function: mtext(expression(italic(beta)[max]),side=1,line=2) does not work on the greek beta character. Though not strictly necessary, this would be perfect for my plots, as I use them for papers to be published. Wishes, Javier ------------------------------------------

Hi,
I'm trying to use expression() to write a text to a graphic in the
margin.
Using:
mtext(expression(beta),side=1,line=2)
writes a perfect beta greek character, but I need to add a subindex
"max", and I'm trying:
mtext(paste(expression(beta),"max"),side=1,line=2)
simply writes "beta max" in the plot.
Please, Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
By the way, is there a way to add Latex expressions to graphics? Then I
could use the Latex expression: $\beta_{\mathrm{max}}$. This also would
be very useful for me for more complex expressions in plots.
Best regards,
Javier
