Try bquote with classic graphics or as.expression(bquote(...)) with lattice: plot(y ~ x, main = bquote(alpha == .(pval))) xyplot(y ~ x, main = as.expression(bquote(alpha == group("", .(pval) ,"")))) -- Statistics & Software Consulting GKX Group, GKX Associates Inc. tel: 1-877-GKX-GROUP email: ggrothendieck at gmail.com ______________________________________________ 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.
