Dear expeRts, I would like to create a plotmath-label of the form X_1^\prime. Here is how to *not* do it [not nicely aligned symbols]: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X*minute[1]))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1]*minute))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]*minute)) Any suggestions? Cheers, Marius

Hmm ....; your subject line is a clue: expression(italic(X)[1]^minute) Note the '^'. Peter Ehlers

and if you want a 'straight' prime:
expression(italic(X)[1]^"\'")

Not all of us read LaTeX, so this is my initial guess at what you are requesting. The "*" after the '1' is a non-space plotmath separator. plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X["`"*1])))
plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X*minute[1]))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1]*minute))) plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]*minute))
If you wanted the tick after the 1, then think of 'minute' as a constant rather than as a function: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[1*minute]))) Or: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X[minute*1])))
Any suggestions?
Greater effort at explanation that does not depend on intuiting your goal from erroneous code.

Dear Peter, Dear David, this is also what I tried: plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]^minute)) [as suggested by Peter]. The problem is that the prime seems so small/short when used with "^". Is there a way to get a thicker/larger prime? Cheers, Marius

This any better?
plot(0,0,main=expression(italic(X)[1]^bolditalic("'")))
