hi, i'm trying to prepend some plain (i.e. unevalutated) text to a
typographically evaluated R expression in a legend(...) call.
here's a working legend(...) call that is close to what i'd like
(where x and y are returned from an lm(...) call):
legend("topleft", legend = c(bquote(R^2 == .(summary(x)$r.squared)),
bquote(R^2 == .(summary(y)$r.squared))), fill = c("blue", "red"))
this evaluates the R^2 values for my x and y objects, then displays
them in the plot legend with colored boxes adjacent to them.
now the hard part (for me, at least :-/), i'd like to add some text
(e.g. "data set 1" and "data set 2") to each line of the legend, right
before the typographically-displayed R^2 == some_value text.
Would be nice (and would follow the guidance of the Posting Guide if
you were to offer a method for construction something like "x" and "y"
as well as stating explicitly what plotting function you were using.
My guess (untested) is that you can get what you want by simply
sticking in those strings (unquoted) into your "working" bquote
argument.
legend("topleft", legend = c(bquote(data set 1 R^2 == .(summary(x)
$r.squared)),
bquote(data set 2 R^2 == .(summary(y)$r.squared))), fill = c("blue",
"red"))

David.
basically, a legend that looks like so (with the expression part
evaluated and typed out correctly):
data set 1 R^2 == some_value
data set 2 R^2 == some_other_value
i've tried a seemingly countless number of paste/substitute/expression
combinations, but cannot seem to get what i'd like.
anyone know of a nice call to create these two strings to display on
my plot?
thanks for any help!
