Hi I want to include the plotting symbols pch=16 and pch=17 in text in the graph used as labels.
This works:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
points(0.2, 1, pch=16)
mtext(
text = "pch=16 (\U25CF)",
side = 3,
at = 0.2,
line = 1,
)
points(0.8, 1, pch=17)
mtext(
text = "pch=17 (\U25B2)",
side = 3,
at = 0.8,
line = 1
)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But I would need this as a pdf and in Calibri font, which does not
include the UTF symbol \U25B2 (the triangle). I got that far:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
cairo_pdf("utftext.pdf", family="Calibri")
plot(0:1,0:1, type="n")
points(0.2, 1, pch=16)
mtext(
text = "pch=16 (\U25CF)",
side = 3,
at = 0.2,
line = 1,
)
points(0.8, 1, pch=17)
mtext(
text = "pch=17 (\U25B2)",
side = 3,
at = 0.8,
line = 1
)
dev.off()
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
which results in the attached pdf (hope it comes through). If not: the
utf symbol for the upward error is displayed as an empty square with a
question mark in it).
Is there a way that I can show the plotting symbol pch=17 in the caption
when using this font?
Thanks,
Rainer
