How would you add a subscript to one particular word of a title in R? For example, suppose the title is "A_2 and B_2." How would you add these two subscripts? I know that expression("A"[2]) and expression("B"[2]) individually add subscripts to these letters.
回答1:
You do not need paste (or quotes for that matter) at all:
expression( A[2]~and~B[2] )
Test:
plot(1,1, main=expression( A[2]~and~B[2] ) )
The syntactic principle is that tildes (which creates a space) and asterisks (non-space plotmath separator) are used to separate items and that no quotes are needed unless you are using a plotmath function name .... such as wanting the word "paste" or "sqrt" to appear in the displayed version of the expression.
回答2:
Just paste them together:
expression(paste("A"[2], " and B"[2])
