Hi all, I'm having problems finding the correct format for a command. I would like to write some text on a plot. I'm using the following command: text(x,y,"text here", srt=90) I would like the text to read: capacity 10^3 m^3 (with ^ denoting superscript (i.e. each '3' as superscript). I've tried fiddling around with expression(paste(etc.... to no avail. I receive errors such as: "Error: unexpected numeric constant..." Anyone had experience with this before? Any suggestions would be great. Many thanks in advance, Ben Gillespie Research Postgraduate School of Geography University of Leeds Leeds LS2 9JT
Superscript followed by number then superscript in text

Hello, Something like this? plot(1, type = "n") text(1,1, expression(capacity ~ 10^3 ~ m^3)) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 18-03-2013 20:29, Benjamin Gillespie escreveu:
