In trying to create a plotmath expression for plot labeling, such as
R = 6, beta = 15
where I want beta to be the Greek beta and, possibly, R in italics (like one
would get in an explicit expression. The reason for this is that I want to
write a string builder function that takes vectors of variable names and
their values and return a plotmath expression for labeling a plot. One
approach I tried is
pname = c("R","beta")
params = c(6,15)
substitute(p == v,list(p = pname[i],v = format(params[i],digits=4))
but this just copies the character strings in pname into the expression. Can
anyone help me do what I want? How would I manage passing the resulting
string back to the calling routine? Any help will be much appreciated.
