Adding superscripts to plot
The superscripts can be added to the x or y axes labels or titles of the plot. These can be added using the ^ operator which is appended to the character string created in the plot() method. The superscript operator can be created using the expression method.
Syntax:
expression(str^val)
Parameters :
- str – The character string to create
- val – The value to raise the character string by
Example:
Here we are going to create a plot with numbers from 1 to 6 with power of 2 as an expression.The string “Numbers” is combined with a subscript ^2 formatted with ^ symbol.
R
# creating numbers numb < - 1: 6 # creating the x axis labels # creating a plot plot(numb, xlab=expression("Numbers" ^ 2)) |
