FW: [R] How do I insert a newline in my title in a plot?

[Christos Rodopoulos]

Thank you very much! I should have known...

 well, to inform you, this is the case:
 
  The problem was of a friend of mine, told to me me by phone.
  From the begining I was telling my friend BYPHONE .... to do this:

title("This is a title\nIn 2 lines")

 but my friend understood and did all the time this:

title("This is a title/nIn 2 lines").

 but it is my problem too:
 the problem is that I say slash and I mean backslash, or vice cersa (!) So
the phone-confusion occured, and I 
was reporting a problem which does not exist!

thank you all for your help. Thanks from my friend too, and sorry for the
confusion I created.

Dear Christos,

This works for me, and has many times in the past. Is it possible that you
used a forward-slash (/), rather than a back-slash (\)? Alternatively,
perhaps this has something to do with using Greek fonts.

I hope this helps,
 John
