Question

I would like to write micrometer square/cubic meter in my plot label in ggplot and I got an error when I add m^2. The first expression is ok but it’s missing the ^2. My attempt to add m^2 did not work because I did not see the superscript.

1. ylab (expression(paste("Surface area concentration (",mu,"m/",m^3,")", sep="")))

2. ylab (expression(paste("Surface area concentration (",mu,",m^2,"/,m^3,")", sep="")))

Thank you

Answer 1

That is just a quote problem:

library(ggplot2)
qplot(mpg, wt, data = mtcars) + 
ylab (expression(paste(
  "Surface area concentration (",
  mu, m^2, "/", m^3,
  ")", sep="")))
