I want to do something like:
TH <- sprintf("%1.1f",c(0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9,1))
plot(1:10)
legend("bottomright",pch=1:5,legend=parse(text=paste("theta ==",TH)))
Notice that the final "1" comes out in the legend as just plain "1" and NOT
as "1.0" although TH is
[1] "0.3" "0.5" "0.7" "0.9" "1.0"
I can get plotmath to preserve "1.0" as "1.0" and NOT convert it to "1"
if I use substitute, as in
text(2,5,labels=substitute(list(theta == a),list(a=TH[5])))
but substitute doesn't work appropriately with vectors.
Can anyone tell me how to get a "1.0" rather than "1" in the legend?
Ta.
cheers,

P.S. Just figured out a way using sapply():
leg <- sapply(TH,function(x){substitute(list(theta == a),list(a=x))})
plot(1:10)
legend("bottomright",pch=1:5,legend=parse(text=leg))
Note that the use of "parse" (pace Thomas Lumley! :-) ) is required ---
"legend=leg" does NOT work.
Getting here required an enormous amount of trial and error. And it seems
pretty kludgy.
Is there a sexier way?
Not sure what is sexier here. I'd stay with
leg <- lapply(TH, function(x) bquote(list(theta == .(x))))
plot(1:10)
legend("bottomright", pch=1:5, legend=as.expression(leg))
Best,
