Dear David,
thanks for the hint, I completely forgot about phantom(). With that, I can
solve the problem:
library(lattice)
xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.1),
labels=c(expression(hat(theta)[italic(n)]),
expression(phantom(hat(theta)[italic(n)])*theta*phantom(hat(theta)[italic(n)]))))))
I use phantom() to put the expression with the largest height to the left of
the smaller label. Then I also put it on the right side of the smaller label in
order to center the label again. It's certainly dirty, but it solves the
problem :-)
Cheers,
Marius
