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 :-)
Nice work, Marius. I'm sure others will find your plotmath alignment
research useful. I also experimented it a bit more to see if the
flanking phantoms created spacing issues and they did not.
xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.02),
labels=c(
expression(hat(theta)
[italic(n)]),
expression(phantom(hat(theta)[italic(n)])*theta*phantom(hat(theta)
[italic(n)])
) ))) )

Dear expeRts,
How can I vertically adjust an axis tick label so that it is
nicely aligned with
the other labels?
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(theta)))))
## aim: move the leftmost expression up so that theta is nicely
aligned with the second
I don't know how to make a phantom <hat>, so see if this is any
more aesthetically acceptable:
xyplot(0~0, xlim=c(0,3), scales=list(x=list(at=c(1,1.1), labels=c(
expression(atop(phantom(), hat(theta)[italic(n)])),
expression(atop(phantom(),theta)) )
)))
theta.
Cheers,
Marius
