I have an expression like this in R:
ylabel <- expression("NO"[3]*"-N-Concentration [mg/l]")
This should be the label of my y-axis on my ggboxplot.
Because the y-label is too close to the axis, I use \n
(new line) to create more distance to the axis:
ylab=paste(ylabel,"\n")
But then on my plot my label will not be shown correctly as I expected:
Or if we need the expression
par(mar = c(3, 6, 2, 2))
ylabel <- expression(atop(NO[3]*-N-Concentration [mg/l], "\n"))
plot(y, ylab=ylabel)
-output
---
Or as the OP mentioned in comments if the [mg/l]
needs to be showed as is, then just quote it
ylabel <- expression(atop(NO[3]*-N-Concentration*" [mg/l]", "\n"))
par(mar = c(3, 6, 2, 2))
plot(1:10, ylab = ylabel)
CodePudding user response:
We could use substitute
:
plot(y,
ylab=substitute(paste("NO"[3]*-N-Concentration [mg/l],"\n"), list(ylabel[2])))
