Dear All,
I am trying to put 10^-8 st km^-2day^-1 on x-axis of my plot. I tried using
: ylab = expression(paste("st / ", plain(km)^2, " / day")) to see if I can
at least get the unit before thinking about the power of 10 (10^-8).
However, ylab = expression(paste("st / ", plain(km)^2, " / day")) didn't
give the result I expected. The power 2 in km was missing.
Works for me. But I don't see the need for paste() or plain().
Try this:
plot(0, ylab="", xlab="")
title(ylab = expression(10^{-8} ~ "st" ~ "km"^{-2} ~ "day"^{-1}))
Replace any '~' with '*' if you don't want the space.
