I would like to insert a superscript in a body of text (e.g., a
title or axis label), where the superscript is not necessarily at
the end of the text. For example, suppose a title read, "This is a
Test^1 of the Emergency Broadcast System" where there is a
superscript 1 after the word Test.
As a starting point for what I'm trying to do, the following shows a
superscript:
x=10
plot(x)
text(x=1, y=12, expression("test"^1)
Not on my device. No closing paren.
Why not:
plot(1:10)
text(x=5, y=4.5, expression(test^1) )
You do not need quotes in plotmath expressions unless they are
reserved plotmath function names. People reach for paste() in far too
many situations.
But, the following does not show a superscript:
x=10
plot(x)
text(x=1, y=11, paste("This is a", expression("test"^1), "of the
Emergency Broadcast System.")
And why not:
expression(This~is~a~test^1~of~the~Emergency~Broadcast~System.)
