[R] Question about 'text' (add lm summary to a plot)

[Gabor Grothendieck]

Use bquote instead of expression, e.g.

trees.lm <- lm(Volume ~ Girth, trees)
trees.sm <- summary(trees.lm)
trees.co <- round(trees.sm$coefficients,2)
trees.rsq <- round(trees.sm$r.squared,2)

plot(Volume ~ Girth, trees)

text(10,60, bquote(Intercept : .(trees.co[1,1])%+-%.(trees.co[1,2])), pos = 4)
text(10,57, bquote(Slope : .(trees.co[2,1])%+-%.(trees.co[2,2])), pos = 4)
text(10,54,bquote(R^2 : .(trees.rsq)), pos = 4)
