Hi R Graphics Gurus

I am unable to figure out this issues with unevaluated expressions. I'm trying to create a graphic where I calculate the residual from a regression and want to mark each residual with its observation number. So something like

plot(0,0, type = "n", xlim = c(0,10))
for(i in 1:10){
  text(i, 0, substitute(paste(epsilon[i])))

}

Does this work for you:

plot(0,0, type = "n", xlim = c(0,10))
for(i in 1:10){
  text(i, 0, substitute(epsilon[i], list(i=i) ))

}

It doesn't for me, in that it doe not print the correct epsilon glyph, but that's because my access to the Symbol font is messed up on my Mac for a reason that is not pressing enough to warrant a question to the appropriate help list. It does get the subscripts printing correctly beneath empty square boxes.



except that i end up pasting \epsilon_i 10 times and not \epsilon_1, ..., \epsilon_10. i'd be much obliged if anyone can put me out of my misery and let me know how i am goofing up.

many thanks
