plot(x,y,xlab=expression(paste("Target Velocity
(",ms^-1,")")),ylab="Passage Probability",ylim=c(0,1))
which works fine.
I tried changing to:
plot(x,y,xlab=expression(paste("Target Velocity
(m",symbol("327"),s^-1,")")),ylab="Passage Probability",ylim=c(0,1))
Instead:
?points
?plotmath
plot(1,1,xlab=expression("Target Velocity m"*symbol("\267")*s^-1 ),
ylab="Passage Probability",ylim=c(0,1))
which does not work. I tried a couple of other iterations that also did not work. Any help is greatly appreciated! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
