Get rid of the paste: plot(1) text(1, 1, b_unit) Actually, if you are going to specify these as formulas anyways you can also get rid of "expression".and possibly the first ~ depending on what you want: plot(0, main = degree ~ C) e <- degree ~ C plot(0, main = e) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
