Here's a plotmath version that positions the expression in the center of the
plot region.
showIntegral.rt <- function (f, xmin, xmax, n = 16)
{
curve(f(x), from = xmin, to = xmax, lwd = 2, col = "blue")
abline(h = 0);
dx <- (xmax - xmin)/n
right <- xmin + (1:n) * dx
left <- right - dx
fr <- f(right)
rect(left, 0, right, fr, density = 5, border = "red")
points(right, fr, col = "red", cex = 1.25, pch = 19)
text(x=(xmax-xmin)/2,
y=(f(xmax)-f(xmin))/2,
bquote( integral(.(body(f))*dx, a, b) == .(sum(fr * dx)) ),
col="orange" )
}
Works as desired with sqrt(x)
showIntegral.rt(f=function(x) sqrt(x), xmin=0, xmax=4, n=5000)
With higher n, one gets an animation effect in the painting of the interactive
window.
