I have a simple question. On a plot, I would like to place text containing a calculated value. What is the format? For example. I would like the following text to appear on a plot. The average temperature is 23.1 degrees. I'm guessing the command is text( x, y, "The average temperature is " %variable name% "degrees") Thanks, Matt Pocernich -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You're guessing incorrectly. Try
text(x,y,paste("The average temperature is ", variable, "degrees"))
