Have a look at the help page for ?plotmath, and try also this:
x <- rnorm(10) y <- rnorm(10) R2 <- round(summary(lm(y ~ x))$r.squared, 3) plot(x, y, main = bquote(R^2 == .(R2))) I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris Paul Chatfield wrote:
This was my initial attempt at creating a title on a graph of the R squared value: x<-rnorm(10) y<-rnorm(10) plot(x,y, main=paste(expression(R^2)," = ",round(summary(lm(y~ x))$r.squared, digits=3), sep="")) I've read various other posts that say expression needs to be taken outside the paste, but I can't seem to get it work as the following fails plot(x,y, main=expression(paste("R^2"," = ",round(summary(lm(y~ x))$r.squared, digits=3), sep=""))) I tried it with title() and didn't get much further either. Hmmm, any ideas what am I missing? Thanks Paul
