How do I put a copyright symbol (C) (or ?) into a plot?

title/sub or legend.

And/or somewhere to the bottom right of the image.

greetings, el

Well, modulo your R set up, you should just be able to copy and paste
that symbol into a text string:

copy <- "(c)"

and then place it wherever you like with text() or mtext().

What OS, what graphics device, what locale, what version of R?  (As asked 
for in the posting guide.)

In many cases you can just use "\uA9" as part of text to be plotted.

There is two copyright symbols in Adobe Symbol, so you can probably use
symbol("\323") and symbol("\343") in plotmath if you don't have the symbol 
in your usual character set.

Brian,

I use:

R version 2.7.2 (2008-08-25)
i386-apple-darwin8.11.1

locale:
C

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

other attached packages:
[1] plotrix_2.4-7    RdbiPgSQL_1.14.0 Rdbi_1.14.0


I didn't think of it as a Mac specific issue, because I want to run
the script on all sorts of setups, Mac, Windows, Linux, GUI and X.


But, in any case, thank you for the advice, the symbols work.

greetings, el
